UK news: Family pay tribute to 18-year-old who died in 'cry for help'
Tributes have been paid to an 18-year-old woman whose life support machine was turned off after a 'cry for help'. Alex Duce sadly passed away surrounding by family.
“She was a very bubbly and popular girl with lots of friends. When she became 17, perhaps 17 and a half, she wanted her own little bit of independence. We helped her to get a place, but I think she became lonely and a little bit of depression kicked in - even though we were always here for her and she’d Facetime me four or five times most days and we’d have a good old chat.
“We were banging on the door and calling but there were no replies. When the police came and started trying to get into the flat we then heard a loud bang, which was Alex falling to the floor. They struggled to get in, it took them about 25 minutes, but she’d gone when we got in. Kayleigh said: “I’m so proud we’ve done that and I do want to highlight the lives she will save. Alex had a heart of gold. She was a diva, and she always had to have the last word, but her heart has always been in the right place. We will miss her so much.”
“Social media, I think, has a lot to do with poor mental health in young people. It’s not always a good thing having everyone in close contact like that.”
