Death 
McRoberts died on 17 July 2013 at Fulham Broadway tube station, West London, after being hit by a Tube train. British Transport Police said a file had been sent to the coroner and at the time her death was not being treated as suspicious. McRoberts' agent said that she believed the actress had taken her own life. At an inquest held in Fulham in October 2013 coroner Elizabeth Pygot returned a verdict of suicide and said: "A pathologist and toxicology results found that she had no alcohol, drugs or medication in her system when she died. She had a longstanding battle with anorexia and severe depression and found it difficult to accept medication. Considering the evidence provided I can conclude beyond reasonable doubt that the deceased took her own life. She jumped in front of the tube train and clearly knew what she was doing. She was extremely unhappy and intended to bring her life to an end."
