A 13-year-old girl posted on TikTok that she didn't think she would live beyond the age of 14 just months before she died, a coroner has heard.

Child watched 'concerning' TikToks in lead-up to death

Maia Walsh was found dead at her home in Hertford on 6 October 2022 and had been watching "concerning" content on TikTok in the run-up to her death, a pre-inquest review hearing heard yesterday.

One of her accounts had a username that correlated to the month that Maia passed, Hertfordshire coroner's court heard. On 6 March 2022, Maia responded to a comment asking: "What do you want to be when you are older?" She replied: "I don't think I'll live past 14."

Maia had at least four TikTok accounts, and her inquest will look at what videos she was seeing and interacting with ahead of her death.

Coroner Jacques Howell said he would request that TikTok share information on all videos created or shared by Maia's accounts, the content of any responses, comments or reactions to any of the material, and any of Maia's interactions on the platform.
