Guinness beer heiress, Honor Uloth, has passed away. She was 19.
Honor, the eldest daughter of Rupert Uloth and Lady Louisa Jane Guinness, was found unresponsive at the bottom of a swimming pool during a family party this summer, on July 31, a coroner’s report obtained by PEOPLE revealed.
The Oxford Brookes University student was rushed to St. Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, and was later transferred to St. Thomas’ Hospital where she died six days later (August 6). Honor’s death was ruled as an accident and the cause by hypoxic brain injury, according to outlets.
"Honor and her family were attending a family party in Spinney Lane, Itchenor, West Sussex. During the evening Honor was in the hot tub which was close by the swimming pool. At around 11.00pm she left the hot tub to go swimming in the swimming pool. Shortly afterwards Honor was found unresponsive at the bottom of the swimming pool,” the coroner’s report revealed, via PEOPLE. “Although the pool was lit it appears that Honor has either jumped or slipped into the pool and in doing so hit her head rendering herself unconscious. It is not clear what she hit her head on. There is no evidence that she suffered a medical event."
A family statement to the Daily Mail expressed that Honor “always made it clear that if anything happened to her, she would like her organs to be donated to those in need.”
Honor’s untimely passing is the latest in a series of unfortunate deaths for the Guinness family, including Guinness founder Arthur Guinness, who also lost 10 of the 21 children he fathered in his lifetime; Lady Henrietta Guinness, who died by suicide; and four-year-old Peter Guinness, who died in a car wreck.
