Michael Sousa inquest told of fatal fall at Norwich college - BBC News
A 12-year-old boy suffered a fatal 20ft (6m) fall after trying to slide down a banister at school, an inquest heard.
Michael Sousa died in hospital eight days after suffering severe head injuries at Jane Austen College in Norwich in January.
An inquest in Norwich into the Year 7 pupil's death heard he was warned about sliding down banisters on the day of the fatal fall.
Senior Coroner Jacqueline Lake concluded the death was misadventure.
The fall happened on the day after Michael's 12th birthday, the inquest heard.
Ms Lake said: "I'm satisfied, from the evidence I've heard, that Michael went on to the stair banister with the intention of sliding down it and clearly that's not its purpose.
"Although a number of children gave slightly differing accounts, they do support the contention that Michael went onto the banister, lost his balance then fell down."
