An inquest has been opened into the death of a Bermudian who died in England last year.

Tahira Baker’s body was found in a flat in Sheffield last September after emergency services were alerted to a blaze at the property. Last week a short hearing was held at the Sheffield Coroner’s Court during which a brief outline of the facts surrounding the 24-year-old’s death were provided before the inquest was adjourned.

The summary stated: “On September 23, 2015, the emergency services were contacted to reports of a property on fire at Carwood Green, Sheffield.

“They attended and fire officers gained entry into the flat. After formalities at the scene where paramedic Youngson pronounced her dead at 8am, she was taken to the Medico Legal Centre, Sheffield.”

The death was initially investigated by the police and also reported in the local newspaper, The Star.
