A girl who was vaccinated against cervical cancer died from a malignant tumour of the chest and not from a reaction to the jab, it was revealed.
Natalie Morton, 14, died after being given the injection at the Blue Coat Church of England School in Coventry.
Deputy coroner for Coventry Louise Hunt said the vaccine was not thought to have been a contributing factor. A pathologist said her condition was “so severe that death could have arisen at any point”.
Natalie collapsed less than two hours after being given the Cervarix vaccine on Monday.
The deputy coroner, who opened and adjourned the hearing at at Coventry Magistrates’ Court, said: “It appears that Natalie died from a tumour in her chest involving her heart and her lungs.”
The inquest was told that the tumour had “heavily infiltrated” her heart and extended into her left lung.
