Deputy speaker’s despair at death of daughter, 28

- By Arthur Martin

THE deputy speaker of the House of Commons yesterday told of his devastatio­n at the sudden death of his daughter.

Lindsay Hoyle, who is Labour MP for Chorley in Lancashire, said life would not be the same without 28-year Natalie.

Her body was found on Friday morning at the home she shares with her mother, Miriam Lewis. Police are not treating the death as suspicious.

Her 60-year-old father said: ‘I am truly devastated by the death of our beautiful daughter Natalie. Our family will never be the same without our loving granddaugh­ter, sister and aunty. Thank you for the kind support we’ve received, it is overwhelmi­ng.’

Miss Lewis-Hoyle’s mother urged anyone who had been in contact with her on the night before she died to inform police.

Miss Lewis, a Conservati­ve district councillor from Heybridge in Essex, wrote on Facebook: ‘Natalie is my only child – my mini-me. Please help me find out what happened to her in the hours before her death.

‘Any little scrap of informatio­n may be more relevant than you imagine.’

Her daughter worked in the constructi­on industry and was also a local councillor.
