A coroner has hit out at a social media firm after a schoolgirl killed herself immediately after researching 'concerning' content about self-harm on question-and-answer website Quora.
Youngster Isabella Shere, 14, was found hanged at her family home having spent months looking for information about how to end her life.
Inner South London assistant coroner Fleur Hallett has called on Quora, the Government and communications regulator Ofcom to take action after it emerged Isabella was able to access the troubling content because it had no age restrictions.
Ms Hallett, who concluded Isabella died by suicide, said: 'During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise to concern.
'In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken.
The inquest heard Isabella's internet search history showed that she had been researching ending her life.

And she had visited Quora - a popular social forum used by hundreds of millions of people to find and provide answers to questions Virtual Cards - popularvcc.com immediately before hanging herself on February 2 2023.
The coroner redacted the specific webpage in her report about Isabella's death, but said the content raised concerns and that it had no age restrictions on it, meaning it could be accessed by children.
The coroner wrote: 'Miss Shere was not known to have been struggling with her mental health but her internet search history in the last four months of her life indicated that she was seeking information relating to methods of ending life.
'Miss Shere left a note indicating an intention to take her own life.
'During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise to concern.
'In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken.
'The question and answer thread that Miss Shere viewed immediately before her death, at the time of writing this report has had 169,700 views.
'The content is not marked as adult content when accessed either on a phone or a computer.'
The coroner said children were able to access the site through search engines without being required to create an account and access content without being asked if they are an adult or being required to input their date of birth.
She said the website also suggested further similar content 'encouraging further consumption of this material', and that users were able to vote for whether an answer was helpful or not.
She said this could mean the user did not fully appreciate 'the seriousness of the subject matter that is being consumed'.
The coroner added: 'There is not sufficient monitoring and/or moderation of the content of questions/answers in accordance with Quora's own platform policies.
'In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you and/or your organisation have the power to take such action.'
Quora, the Government and the broadcasting regulator are all required to respond to the coroner's report.
