Amelia Smith had suffered with anorexia and, when she struggled with a stomach ache after a meal one night, it wasn't deemed as out of the ordinary.

But the 23-year-old's partner, Tom Mooney, realised something was seriously wrong the following morning. Around two hours after believing Amelia was in a 'deep sleep', Tom found her unresponsive in bed, her inquest heard yesterday (November 1), Amelia was described as a 'gentle, kind and beautiful soul' by her loved ones, the Liverpool Echo reports.
