Head spoke of 'exciting times ahead' before death

Police have not yet confirmed the cause of their deaths but said they were confident that there was "no third-party involvement". An unnamed source told The Telegraph that a member of school staff had called the emergency services after hearing what they believed to be gunshots in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The area surrounding the Pattisons' home, which is granted to headteachers and their families at the prestigious school, was cordoned off yesterday. Among the sealed buildings was Epsom College's rifle range. The Independent understands that it is not considered part of the scene of investigation but was closed because of its close proximity to the house.
