The family of a mum, 27, who was found dead inside an old ambulance by a children’s play area in Blackpool, Lancashire, has been named as Gila Brown.
Gila was found inside the vehicle on Gorton Street, a residential road near Blackpool North railway station, yesterday at about 9.30am.
Her death, first reported by the Blackpool Lead, was sudden.
Two men in their 60s have been arrested. Gila’s death is being treated as unexpected, not suspicious.
Sisters Katie, Carly and Jordan have paid tribute to the ‘loving mum, sister, daughter, auntie, cousin and loyal friend’.
‘Just so people know my sister has a name. She is Gila Brown and she was my beautiful my little sister,’ said Kate.
‘She was an amazing person despite her demon’s that she was facing.
‘She was so loving, caring, beautiful and smart. She was loved by so many, she didn’t deserve any of this.
‘I would just like people to show some respect and share this and get her picture and her name around.’
