ok.co.ukThe daughter of a woman who appeared on Channel 4's First Dates Hotel was 'already dead' when her father drove into a lorry in a suspected murder-suicide, an inquest has heard.Two year old Oria passed away last year, when she was killed by her father Ashley Henry in a suspected murder-suicide.The tragic death of Oria occurred in Anwick, Lincolnshire, and was first thought to have been an accidental collision, until police launched a murder investigation two days later.
Police initially treated the tragedy, which took place on Father's Day last year, as a straightforward collision but later launched a murder investigation after 'careful consideration'.
