Rhea Hourigan cause of death

“It would still be a tragedy without this, but her parents can’t see her daughter until the autopsy is done. They are desperate to get her home.” “Jo [mother] just faced one brick wall after another.” Writing on Facebook, Ella Jo’s devastated mother said: “She had so many plans, dreams and aspirations that she was our shining star.”

She hadn’t even finished her first year of college which she absolutely loved in Durham and had made so many great friends. “Our only consolation is that she was so happy and she had such a brilliant day seeing the sights of Paris that she would not have known what had happened and she did not suffer.” Despite the challenges, Jo says, the French police, hospital and funeral homes have been a great help. Polly says that she and Jo were pregnant and have been friends for 30 years.

Speaking through tears, she says there are no words to explain how devastated Polly’s daughter, Rhea’s best friend, is. We are all girlfriends, all moms, and we all have children of the same age. One of our friend’s daughters is the general manager of Nandos and all the girls work there. A lot of people in such a small community are beyond devastated,” she says.
