Dagenham, east London

Donna and Jen Taylor aren’t worried when their younger brother doesn’t return to the family home on Sunday.

Any 25-year-old male living in London would surely find it slightly overbearing if their sisters were pestering them to come back when the most likely reply they’d receive would reveal him to be nursing a hangover on a friend’s sofa after a good night out.

Donna is speaking to her mother on the phone when she learns of her brother’s death. The knowledge comes courtesy of her mother’s screams when the police come in to tell Jeanette that Jack has been found. Binmen discovered his body, they explain, in a seated position, propped up in the grounds of St Margaret’s Church on September 14.

Donna and Jen simply cannot accept that their brother died of an overdose by his own hand.
