Qudsiyah Mahmood, 13, struggled with gender identity and poor mental health before her suicide, confirmed by coroner after reviewing messages and witness accounts.
- At the Bradford inquest, Assistant Coroner Caroline Chandler ruled Qudsiyah Mahmood's death a suicide, concluding she deliberately entered the water at Baitings Reservoir on May 28, 2025.
- Earlier, the inquest heard Qudsiyah Mahmood had poor mental health and self-harmed, while Snapchat messages to friends showed confusion about her sexuality and suggested intent to end her life.
- A jogger later recalled seeing Qudsiyah step off the Bridge at Baitings Reservoir "without hesitation," while Mr Mahmood, father, heard a splash and saw her struggling in the water.
- Following the incident, West Yorkshire Police reviewed Snapchat screenshots from Qudsiyah's friends, initially treated the fall as accidental, visited the family on May 28, and used sonar to recover her body the next day.
- Community members urged anyone struggling to seek help, highlighting mental-health support from Samaritans and Childline and remembering Qudsiyah as bright and kind by Dean Jones, headteacher, Crossley Heath School.
