A 14-year-old girl died choking on a pickled egg hours after returning from a weight-loss club, an inquest heard.

Anna Sexton weighed more than 21 stone (139kg) and had sought help after struggling with her size for years, a coroner was told.

She would often go downstairs at night and "gorge" on pickled eggs without chewing them, the hearing was told.

The teenager returned to her grandparents' home on June 8 following an after-school weight loss club and later that evening ate a pickled egg.
