Her mother screamed: “Hayley. Oh My God. Call an ambulance. Please save her please.”
Members of staff at Hull Crown Court placed a series of screens around her as a man in his early 20s was accused of taking a photograph.
The man was ordered by others at the scene to delete the image.
Ms Gascoigne was put onto a trolley and taken to Hull Royal Infirmary, where she was later confirmed dead.
Details of the ruling have not been revealed.
Her father said the “stress” of the trial played a role in his daughter’s death.
“My daughter died in my other daughter’s arms. She died because of the stress,” Mr Gascoigne said,
Police have launched an investigation after allegations from a relative that she may have “taken something” in the toilet before becoming ill.
