Katie Humpage tragedy: Thousands raised in memory of Wolverhampton teacher
A fundraising day has been held in memory of a much-loved teacher found dead at her home.
Katie Humpage, 32, worked at South Wolverhampton and Bilston Academy and had previously taught at Willenhall E-ACT Academy.
Former pupils organised a day of activities in aid of mental health charity MIND.
The event was held at the school in Furzebank Way on Sunday.
Organiser Chloe Ball, 21, who Miss Humpage taught for A-level English and law, said: "We had a football tournament with 14 teams taking part.
"We had games including name the teddy and guess the sweets in the jar. We also had a bouncy castle, burger van and ice cream van."
Chloe, of Short Heath, Willenhall, said 'hundreds' of people had turned out during the day.
The event was organised as current and former students wanted to hold something good in Miss Humpage's memory.
Chloe added: "I wanted something good in her memory because she helped me a lot during school.
"I wanted to do something good for her and for her family.
"She was massively inspirational. I don't think I would have got the grades that I did without her support."
So far, £1,857 has been raised in memory of the very popular teacher on the crowd-funding site justgiving.com.
An inquest into Mrs Humpage's death was opened at the Black Country Coroner's Court, in Oldbury. It was adjourned until September 15.
