A "fantastic" and "lovely" young mum is believed to have taken her own life after she started treatment for a mental health condition.
A friend of Casey Thornhill, from Beighton, Sheffield, said she had spent years seeking help for her poor mental health before she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Family friend Rachel Jackson said the 21-year-old was in 'a really good place' before she died on December 16. Casey leaves behind her three-year-old son Noah, a boyfriend and a loving family, YorkshireLive reports.
Her heartbroken mum Julia has said that she wants to raise awareness of the illness so that others suffering from it can get help.
