Sculptor found dead just months after split from publishing heir
A YOUNG sculptor has been found dead at a private psychiatric hospital months after her engagement to publishing heir Dan Macmillan ended.
Daisy Boyd, 28, reportedly split from her fashion designer fiancé in July after three years together. Her former fiancé is the great-grandson of Harold Macmillan and as the son of the Earl of Stockton holds the courtesy title Viscount Macmillan of Ovenden.
The circumstances of her death are unclear, but she is understood to have died at the Nightingale Hospital last week, The Mail on Sunday reported.
The hospital in Marylebone, central London, is one of the leading private mental health clinics in the country and specialises in the treatment of eating disorders, addiction and other psychotic illnesses. A family friend said: “Daisy was a brilliantly vibrant and joyous person who lit up any room she entered.” A spokesman for the clinic said: “Nightingale Hospital sends our deepest sympathies to the family, but we are not in a position to comment owing to the delicacy of the situation and out of respect to the family.”
