Holly Woodcock, a 20-year-old from Erith, South London, was found at the bottom of a swimming pool at her school friend's holiday villa in Saint-Hilaire-la-Forêt, France, in the early hours of August 2, 2024, and was pronounced dead at 3:09am. The French inquest ruled drowning as the most likely cause of death but did not determine the exact cause, and a "traumatic cause of death" was not ruled out. The investigation was closed after just over a week with numerous unanswered questions: witness statements did not match and the timeline was incomplete; key witnesses were never interviewed; DNA samples and Holly's swimming costume were destroyed; phones were not checked and CCTV was never obtained; no blood alcohol tests were conducted; there was no explanation for a nosebleed found by the coroner or why Holly was alone long enough to drown; and it took 14 minutes for emergency services to be called after Holly was found. The parents, Lee and Joanna Woodcock, have been publicly campaigning for the case to be reopened, writing to the Prime Minister and stating they "will not get closure until this has been properly investigated." Their MP, Daniel Francis, confirmed he has been supporting the family since August 2024 and that significant questions remain unanswered. The Foreign Office told the family they were unable to intervene in another country's judicial process. The claim that the parents "still have no idea what happened" accurately reflects the situation: the official investigation was inconclusive as to the exact cause and circumstances of death, key evidence was destroyed, and the parents have been publicly and persistently seeking answers that have not been provided. While French authorities suggested drowning as the most likely cause, the exact cause was never established, traumatic causes were not excluded, and the circumstances surrounding the death remain unexplained.
