Father's agony as showjumper daughter, 26, dies in her sleep after five-year battle with anorexia triggered by death of her mother.
A 26-year-old showjumper who suffered from anorexia died in her sleep after fighting a five-year battle with the eating disorder following the death of her mother.

Laura Ferguson went to bed complaining about stinging eyes, tiredness and a sore head on Sunday.

The next day her father was unable to wake her.

Just hours before her death, she wrote on her Facebook page that she was enjoying carrot and coriander soup.

She wrote: 'Omg why am I starting to come to life now when it's bed time!'

She had also told friends she had 'not been this happy for years' and had even developed a craving for certain foods, leading her father to believe she had beaten the illness.
