  • Coroner Grant Davies confirmed police found no evidence of third-party involvement and deemed the death non-suspicious.
  • Ms. Roche, a 20-year-old English Literature student at Durham University and second cousin to Princes William and Harry, was discovered at her Norton family home on July 14.
