17-year-old hanged herself on Christmas Eve in the same way her aunt had three years ago
Tiegan O'Rourke was found hanged in her bedroom after sending out a text: 'I want to be with my auntie.'
A 17-year-old teenager hanged herself on Christmas Eve after struggling to cope with the death of her aunt, who had killed herself in the same way three years ago.
Hours before her death, Tiegan O'Rourke had told her mother that she was excited about the festive season, but was still struggling to come in terms with the death of her aunt, 37-year-old Lynnsey Catley.
Tiegan was found hanged in her bedroom after sending out a text; "I want to be with my auntie." She was immediately taken to hospital but passed away three days later. Her organs were donated to help save the lives of others.
