- By RACHAEL BURNETT

The family of a schoolgirl with severe food allergies who died after eating a Pret baguette said their pain was “indescriba­ble”.

Natasha Ednan-laperouse died after falling ill on a British Airways flight to Nice two years ago.

The 15-year-old was travelling with her father Nadim for a summer break.

An inquest into her death is due to take place at West London Coroner’s Court in Fulham today.

A statement issued on behalf of the family said: “It’s a daily battle and the pain is indescriba­ble.”

Natasha, from Fulham, died on 17 July 2016 after collapsing on the flight from London Heathrow.

Shortly before boarding the plane she had eaten an artichoke, olive and tapenade baguette from a Pret a Manger in Terminal 5, her family said.
