To those around her Eleanor Holmes was a brilliant schoolgirl and talented musician with everything to live for. But she was secretly battling inner demons – and the only clue to what was troubling her so deeply came in a haunting song she wrote about a girl’s hidden worries about her looks. Shortly after writing the song Eleanor, 15, killed herself, tormented by pressures to be thinner and prettier and to get on with all her friends. Scroll down for video . Elle Holmes, 15, took her own life after pressures to be thinner and prettier and to get on with her friends . Leigh Holmes (centre) whose teenage daughter Elle (left)  died after a tragic accident has revealed that her daughter had been visiting pro-anorexia websites before her death . The lyrics of the song Mirror, Mirror . include the lines: ‘Mirror mirror don’t you see, What you show her is . deadly, You killed that little girl.’ Her family had no idea . anything  was wrong and say she must have  suddenly felt overwhelmed by . her worries and snapped. After her death they discovered that she had . secretly browsed sick ‘pro-ana’ websites – which promote anorexia and . bulimia – and had made herself sick after eating and had self-harmed in . the days before her death on May 26. Eleanor’s mother Leigh, 40, said . her daughter had shown ‘no sign’ of depression and was filmed laughing . in a family video hours before she died. ‘I don’t know why my loved, . brilliant, popular, talented, funny baby made that decision,’ said Mrs . Holmes, a teacher at an international school in China. ‘She left no . note. She said nothing to the little brother she adored. No word to her . boyfriend, or her close inner circle of friends. ‘There was no . long-suffering depression, or slow descent into despair. The spiral into . darkness seemed to occur over just a few short hours as her mind became . overwhelmed and she simply snapped.’ She added it was only through ‘forensically mining’ her daughter’s computer she discovered her hidden concerns. ‘Her . secret internet history revealed many of the pressures of modern life, a . desire to be skinnier, prettier, have different hair. There were secret . accounts on pro-ana websites,’ she said. Eleanor was a star student . with dreams of becoming a child psychologist. She had taken GCSEs a year . early, was captain of her school’s swimming, netball and football . teams, played three instruments and had volunteered helping orphans in . Tanzania. She wrote and performed her own songs, often accompanied on . the drums by brother Oliver, 13. Among them was Mirror, Mirror. On the . night of her death, Eleanor – who was also known as Elle – received . texts with a Gothic-style image of skulls and nooses from a friend and . sent texts asking whether another friend whom she had fallen out with . had ‘given up on her’. Mrs Holmes said: ‘Elle appears to have started . becoming distressed and began texting a friend, a blameless young . artist who also was exploring her own demons, who could not have known . the state of mind Elle was in from such short digital messages, carrying . none of the nuance or body language of a real conversation. ‘We can . only imagine what dark tunnels Elle’s mind took her down from there . onwards, but roughly two hours later, my wonderful baby died – leaving . me heartbroken.’ Elle loved to sing and recorded a track called Mirror Mirorr which the family hopes will become a world wide hit . Elle Holmes, from Bootle, Merseyside, had also been self-harming, covering her injuries with chunky accessories, her mother revealed. She was in Beijing at the time of her death . Before she died in May, Elle recorded a song that Ms Holmes now wants to share to bring hope to other youngsters struggling across the world and raise funds for teens in crisis . Mrs Holmes added: ‘Elle was a dream child: funny, . mischievous, caring about her family, committed and openly loving to her . mum and her little brother. But, clearly, she did have hidden demons. ‘If this could happen to my kid, it could happen to anyone.’ The . family live in China because Mrs Holmes works at the British School of . Beijing but are originally from Bootle, Liverpool. A Chinese inquest . found the cause of death to be asphyxiation. Mrs Holmes is now in . talks with singer Anita Prime from New Zealand to record a version of . Mirror, Mirror to help support girls struggling with their body image. The record will raise money for teenage mental health charity Papyrus. To donate in Eleanor’s memory visit: www.elleaholmes.com. Family . friend Sheree Brown wrote a blog warning parents of the dangers of . technology, especially in teenagers’ rooms at night. She said: ‘Mobile . devices and the such allow too much into what should be their “safe . place”.’ ■For confidential support, call the Samaritans on 08457909090, visit a local Samaritans branch or go to www.samaritans.org. ■For support and advice on battling eating disorders, contact b-eat: For the Adult Helpline, call 0845 634 1414.
