The parents of a One Direction super fan who collapsed outside her school and died told today how she had hoped to become a top lawyer.

Magdalena Szablinska was standing at a bus stop near St Mark's Catholic School, in Hounslow, when she collapsed on January 21 this year.

The 16-year-old, of Fairdale Gardens, Hayes, was pronounced dead later that afternoon at West Middlesex Hospital after repeated attempts to resuscitate her failed.

Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson were among the One Direction stars who paid tribute to the popular, hard-working student on Twitter after her death.

Her parents, who spoke through a Polish interpreter, today paid their respects in a moving statement which was read out at West London Coroner's Court during an inquest into her death.

"She was a very good student who was always getting A and A* grades, and who was much liked by her teachers, other students and people she knew," they said.

"She spent much time sitting on her sofa studying in front of her computer, and her goal was to start studying at Oxford University and to become a very good lawyer one day.

"She was a healthy, fit girl who liked sport, especially football. She liked making trips to meet her favourite band One Direction at recording studios, airports and concerts. She was a devoted fan and created her own fan page on Twitter.

"She was healthy, bubbly and a good person, who had many friends. With her positive and happy thinking she was making friends with everyone."

The inquest heard how Magdalena had been suffering from stomach pains, dizziness and sickness in the weeks before her death and had been to a GP, who found her blood pressure was healthy and she had no abnormalities.

It was also told how a heart specialist had found the most likely cause of her death to be cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle which can run in families and on rare occasions leads to sudden arrhythmic death, described by assistant coroner Sean Cummings as 'an unusual electrical storm in the heart'.

Other than the problems with her heart, Magdalena's post mortem found her to be perfectly healthy, with no drugs or alcohol in her system.

The anaesthetist who treated her at West Middlesex Hospital said he had found two pieces of chewing gum blocking her airway, but did not believe this had contributed to her collapse.

Helen Smith, assistant headteacher at St Mark's, told how she was on duty at the bus stop outside St Michael and St Martin Church, in Bath Road, when Magdalena collapsed that afternoon.

She said the teenager had collapsed suddenly, with her backpack still around her shoulders, and she had given her mouth-to-mouth, following the instructions of a paramedic over the phone, before an ambulance arrived.

Concluding that Magdalena had died as a result of an accident, Mr Cummings added: "I heard evidence about her bubbly, bright and beautiful personality and know that all her teachers, fellow pupils and friends loved her and will miss her terribly, as will her parents."
