One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson's 18-year-old sister Félicité dies after suffering heart attack
Félicité Tomlinson, 18, a fashion designer and a fitness enthusiast who declared in January that she quit drinking and smoking, was found dead in her London apartment on Wednesday
One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson's 18-year-old sister Félicité was found dead at her London home after suffering a heart attack.
Félicité was a fashion designer and an Instagram star who had almost 1.3 million followers. Her death comes three years after her and Louis' mother, Johannah, died from leukaemia.
The cause of the teen's death is listed as "unexplained" at this stage. However, it has been reported that she collapsed after a suspected heart attack at her fourth-floor studio apartment in Earls Court, West London, on Wednesday noon. No signs of drugs were found in the apartment. A full post-mortem examination and toxicology tests will be carried out in the coming days.
Félicité, who was also known as Fizzy, was a fitness enthusiast and, in January, she had posed on her social media that she had stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes.
According to TMZ, sources close to her family said that her family saw absolutely no warning signs and they knew of no prior history of heart trouble. She did, however, suffer from sciatica — a pain in the lower back.
Louis has been left "devastated and distraught" by the death and described his sister as "lovable, caring, bright and beautiful," sources close to the One Direction singer told the Sun.
