An inquest into the death of a woman has been opened after she was found unresponsive in a Havering-atte-Bower park by a member of the public. 

Angel Bloxham, 24, was identified by police using her photographic ID after she was pronounced dead in an area of Havering Country Park at 10.45am on September 3. 

Graeme Irvine, senior coroner at East London Coroner's Court, told of how the emergency services were "contacted by a member of the public who had found a person". 

Evidence discovered by paramedics at the scene indicated that "Miss Bloxham had been dead for some time". 

At the inquest opening today (September 16), Mr Irvine revealed that Miss Bloxham's death was referred to the coroner's court "on the basis that the Metropolitan Police Service could not be satisfied as to the precise medical cause of death". 

A post mortem examination conducted on September 9 concluded that she had not died of natural causes, the court heard. 

The inquest opening revealed that "personal effects and also some containers that had once contained alcohol" were found around the scene. 

Mr Irvine added that police officers located "a note that was believed to have been created by Miss Bloxham which seemed to indicate intent".

He requested that Miss Bloxham's family provide a statement "setting out the general circumstances leading up to the time of her death, if there was anything unusual that they can impart to the court".

Statements and other documents have also been ordered from police, paramedics and Miss Bloxham's GP, with Mr Irvine adding that if she had been under the care of any mental health or drug and alcohol service, they too would need to disclose records. 

He told the court: "The court has determined that it is necessary to open an inquest. Miss Bloxham's death is an unnatural death."

Police previously said they had been called to reports of an unresponsive woman in Bower Farm Road near to the country park on the morning Miss Bloxham was found.

But the court heard she was discovered by a member of the public within the country park, situated in Pinewood Road.

A Met Police spokesperson previously said the death was "not thought to be suspicious". 

The inquest into Miss Bloxham's death will take place on March 6, 2025.
