A Coroner's hearing into the death of a Napier school boy who was accidentally strangled on a toilet window has heard there was no handle on the door.
Nine-year-old Aryan Banerjee died from critical head injuries in September last year.
He was strangled after his shirt collar got caught on
a window which he climbed out because the door jammed.
Coroner Tim Scott has heard the door handle was left on the ground in front of the toilet, while it was being repaired.
A staff member says the door was not taped off to stop children from using the toilet, because it should have been a quick fix.
