Schoolgirl, 15, found hanged after 'developing an allergic reaction to the WiFi at her school'

  • Jenny Fry suffered from electro-hypersensitivity, according to her parents
  • She was found hanged in woodland in June this year after her parents claims she suffered from the WiFi at her school
  • The teenager's parents are now campaigning to remove the technology from classrooms


A schoolgirl was found dead in woodland after suffering an allergic reaction to her school's WiFi that made her life a misery, an inquest heard.
  • The parents of 15-year-old Jenny Fry claim that she suffered from electro-hypersensitivity (EHS), which caused her to suffer tiredness, headaches and bladder problems.
    Her mother Debra told the hearing that Jenny was badly affected by the wireless internet connections at Chipping Norton School in Oxfordshire, where she was a pupil.
    After becoming increasingly distressed by her symptoms - which were never investigated by a doctor - the schoolgirl was found hanged in Brooke Woods, near her home in Chadlington, in June 11 this year.
    Earlier in the day she had texted a friend telling her she was not going to school that day, the inquest heard.
    Mrs Fry and her husband Charles Newman told Oxfordshire Coroners' Court that they believed their daughter became ill because of WiFi, and had removed the internet connection from their own home.
    They told today how she would often hide herself in empty classrooms and would only sit in certain seats in lessons so that she would be as far away from the router as possible, they said.
    Speaking after the inquest, Mrs Fry said: WiFi and children do not mix. I believe that WiFi killed my daughter.' 
    Mrs Fry had told how Jenny started showing signs of EHS in November 2012. She said: 'Jenny was getting ill and so was I. I did some research and found how dangerous WiFi could be so I had it taken out of the house.
    'Both Jenny and I were fine at home but Jenny continued to be ill at school in certain areas.
