Heartbreaking news from Knighton, Powys: Determined and full of love, one young man rushed to try and save his girlfriend, Kimberley White, but tragically was too late. Kimberley, just 23, was known for her vibrant spirit and the joy she brought to everyone she met. Her passions spanned music, photography, astrology, fashion, and a deep love for animals.
In a tragic turn of events, she was found dead at her flat after a distressing video call with her boyfriend. Despite his desperate attempt to reach her in time, she had already passed away when paramedics arrived. An inquest revealed that Kimberley had a history of mental health struggles, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-harm and substance use.
During the inquest, it was mentioned that a mix of substances including MDMA, cocaine, and alcohol was found in her system, and it appeared she hadn’t been taking her prescribed medication.
A fundraiser has been set up to assist with Kimberley’s funeral costs, and has already raised over £4,100, showing how much she was loved and cherished by those who knew her. Her legacy of kindness and creativity remains in the hearts of her friends and family.
