Norfolk Teen's Joyful Spirit Remembered After Tragic Death

The family of Adriana Retyte, a 14-year-old from Norfolk, has shared their profound sorrow following her sudden death. Emergency services were called to her Ashwellthorpe home on the evening of May 8, where she received CPR before being transported to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. Adriana tragically passed away on May 10.

The inquest opening on May 13 confirmed the medical cause of death as hanging. Adriana, born on February 27, 2012, in Drogheda, Ireland, was a Year 9 pupil at Langley School, where she was cherished for her warmth and positive spirit.

Adriana was also a talented footballer for Taverham Toucans U14s. Her mother, Greta Saggers, expressed deep heartbreak, thanking the community for their support. Tributes highlight Adriana's ability to bring joy, laughter, and light to those around her. A fundraiser has been established in her honour to support the young suicide prevention charity Papyrus.

A full inquest is scheduled for October 16. Adriana's funeral will be held on May 21 at St Faith's Crematorium in Norwich. Langley School has offered pastoral support to its community following this devastating loss.
