Mya-Lecia Naylor died at age 16 due to 'misadventure,' the ruling reported by BBC News and The Guardian said.

London - A young British actress who appeared alongside Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in "Cloud Atlas" accidentally ended her own life last April, an inquest by a coroner in London has ruled.

The category of "death by misadventure" is used in the UK to classify a death attributed to an accident caused by a risk taken voluntarily. Naylor spent the evening before her death watching a film with her family and had been planning for the future, the BBC reported. "I honestly believe she was just making some sort of point," the dad told the South London Coroners Court, the BBC said. "I genuinely believe she did not mean to do it."
