In her testimony, Crispin Butler, the Buckinghamshire coroner, explained that letters found at the scene have shed some light on her intentions and proved her death as a consequence of grief from a loss she suffered recently. Medical reports stated that no third-party influence existed while confirming that Paige had friend circles who supported her during the weeks preceding her death.
On hearing the tragic news, those who experienced her generous nature paid tribute to her. Over £12,700 has already been contributed to a GoFundMe placing gratitude towards her family, beating almost every average goal set on the campaign for supporting her family.
A community united in remembrance
On July 28, hundreds of people met at Prestwood Common to celebrate Paige’s life by launching lanterns into the air as a representation of the light she gave to so many. Chiltern Toy Bank along with many other local organizations, paid tribute to her incredible selfless work by honoring her as a true champion of humanity.
“Paige gave so much of her time, making sure kids in hospitals got their Easter eggs, supporting women’s aid charities, and helping anyone who needed it,” as seen in a quote from the fundraising event set up for her.
Many are dedicated to keeping Hall’s legacy alive even as Prestwood mourns her loss. And a difference will be made through the act of kindness which she advocated so much for.
