Friends of a teenage girl who died after being found in a house with her fatally injured father said she had been "sorting her life out" after a "tough few months".
Margaret Pierides, 16, died after being airlifted to hospital from the family's £750,000 home in the picturesque village of Sible Hedingham, Essex.
Her father, Costas Pierides, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Post-mortem tests are being carried out but police said they were not looking for anyone in connection with the murder investigation.
The teenager's friends spoke of the rocky relationship she had with her father but said they appeared to have "patched things up" recently.
She had returned home a "few months ago" after spending time in a youth hostel in nearby Braintree.
Kika Willings, 18, who went to the village school with Margaret, said: "When she went back home she was so happy. She was proper sorting her life out.
"She seemed to have patched things up.
"We were best friends. She was so much fun to be around. She was crazy."
Miss Willings's mother Celestine Adams, 45, described Margaret as a "wild card".
