The body of Aaron Armstrong (25), is said to have been discovered yesterday at a house in Blyth, Northumber­land.

On Monday, he had posted an emotional tribute to his girlfriend on Instagram.

A Northumbri­a Police spokespers­on said: “At around 12.20pm today (July 10) police received a report from the ambulance service that a 25-year-old man had been found deceased at a property on Furnace Road in Bebside, Blyth. There is not believed to be any third party involvemen­t and a report will now be prepared for the coroner.”

An inquest has been opened and adjourned into the death of the former Love Island contestant.

After the death of their “precious daughter”, parents Colin and Deborah Gradon said in a statement to the Press Associatio­n: “Our hearts are broken.”
