Suffolk's senior coroner Nigel Parsley, recording a narrative conclusion, said Miss Pepper died 'as a result of a serious infection caused by an insect bite to the forehead'. Her medical cause of death was recorded as septic emboli in the brain, which are obstructions of blood vessels, with an infection by bacteria called staphylococcus aureus and an insect bite to the forehead also contributing. But subsequently Miss Pepper had a reaction to a bite, and attended A&E on July 7 after her swelling 'significantly worsened', Mr Hall said. On July 9 she collapsed, 'was delirious and had difficulty talking' so Mr Hall drove her back to A&E. Miss Pepper, who had a twin brother Oscar and older brother Oliver, died with her parents by her bedside. Her mother said after the inquest that in memory of Miss Pepper, they had 'set up a small scholarship to encourage other women pilots' to enter the profession, working with the British Women Pilots' Association.
