Police began their enquiries after 29- year- old Kirsty was found dead at her home last month.
Forensic teams sealed off Kirsty’s house following her death but ruled out murder.
The mum- of- two was described as an “absolute diamond” by pals, who helped raise £ 3000 to help pay the cost of her funeral.
The friends and family united to raise cash for her young children.
They raised a magnificent £ 1018 for the kids’ Christmas when about 100 people crowded into Pro Soccer in Ayr for a bingo night.
Big- hearted staff at Madisons night club donated their wages and tips to help fund Kirsty’s children’s Christmas presents.
