Poppy Eagle, from Washington, returned home from a dog walk on August 7 following a family meal at their favourite bistro - ready for a cosy movie night with her brother and sisters. The 20-year-old, who had recently completed her first year at University of the Arts in London, went in to her bedroom to change in to her pyjamas - but then did not answer the door to her sister's knocks.

I could just tell by everyone's screams that something was gravely wrong. "I went upstairs and it was just all too real. I am a nurse by vocation and started CPR and four ambulance crews arrived within minutes.
We tried everything in our power to save her. Poppy with dad Peter, 44. (Image: VICKI EAGLE) "There were no signs of an allergy or anything.
I was looking all around the room to try and understand what had happened - did she fall? Did she hit her head? There was nothing logical at all." In her memory, the Eagle family are set to launch the Poppy's Light Foundation which will support young people dealing with bereavement who have no one to lean on. A fundraiser to help get the charity going has so far raised just shy of £15,000 as the family pay tribute to their "amazing".
