The family of Natalie Lewis-Hoyle, the daughter of the Commons deputy speaker Lindsay Hoyle, have appealed for information about her death. | |
Lewis-Hoyle, 28, was found unconscious at an address in Heybridge, near Maldon, Essex, on Friday morning. | |
Her mother, Miriam Lewis, a Maldon councillor, asked for anyone who had been contacted by Lewis-Hoyle on Thursday night to notify police. | |
She said her daughter’s phone was missing and may have been left on a train from London Liverpool Street to Ipswich. | |
She wrote on Facebook: “It is with unbearable sadness that I have to announce the sudden death of my beautiful, much-adored daughter Natalie. | |
“If Natty contacted you by phone, text, messenger or any other means on Thursday evening, 14 December, between 20.00 and midnight, please let me know through this page or contact A/Insp Jon Loudon at Essex police, incident no 158. Any little scrap of information may be more relevant than you imagine. | |
“Natalie is my only child, my mini-me. Please help me find out what happened to her in the hours before her death.” | “Natalie is my only child, my mini-me. Please help me find out what happened to her in the hours before her death.” |
Hoyle, the Labour MP for Chorley, said the family was “truly devastated”. He wrote on Twitter: “Our family will never be the same without our loving granddaughter, sister & aunty. Thank you for the kind support we’ve received, it is overwhelming.” | |
Fellow MPs, friends and strangers offered their condolences to Hoyle and his family. “What terribly sad news. Thoughts & prayers with you all,” wrote the Conservative MP Nicky Morgan. | |
The Chorley Labour party tweeted: “The thoughts and prayers of the entire Chorley CLP are with you and your family at this sad time,” and the local Conservative party office wrote: “How very sad; all our thoughts are with Cath [Hoyle’s wife], you and your family.” | |
Essex police said the death was not being treated as suspicious and a file would be prepared for the coroner. | Essex police said the death was not being treated as suspicious and a file would be prepared for the coroner. |
