Young Beauty Queen’s Fatal Accident
Eleisha Skinner, 21, a beloved beauty queen and student at Buckinghamshire New University, was tragically crushed to death by her own car while unloading outside her student accommodation in High Wycombe.
The horror unfolded when the parked vehicle suddenly rolled towards her, pinning Eleisha against a wall. Her housemates rushed to the scene and managed to free her before she was rushed to John Radcliffe Hospital.

Despite the quick response from emergency services, Eleisha sadly died three days later on January 8. A post-mortem revealed the cause of death as anoxic brain injury due to asphyxia compression.
Senior coroner Crispin Butler has adjourned the inquest until June 23 for a full investigation.
