Jools tragically passed away in April 2022, and the brief inquest held in September of the same year lasted just 23 minutes without hearing live evidence before delivering a narrative verdict. Jools’ mother, Ellen Roome, challenged the senior coroner’s verdict, arguing that crucial new evidence had emerged, particularly concerning the influence of social media platforms like TikTok.
