Sophie Richardson was just 25 when she was found dead at her home in Fleetwood
A young woman was found dead at her home having turned to drugs after her mum and dad both killed themselves. Sophie Richardson had a "troubled childhood" during which she had been taken into care.
Detective Inspector Steven Montgomery recalled how he was called to Sophie's home in Edmondsen Place on May 22 last year. Although it was clear that Sophie had been injecting heroin prior to her death, she had several head injuries which led police to suspect she had been attacked. Detectives also noted "spray patterns" of blood in Sophie's bedroom but these were later deemed to be caused by intravenous drug use. Several burnt foils and used needles were found in the room and Sophie also had a number of injection puncture marks on her arms and legs.
"She unfortunately had quite a difficult life," the detective said. "She was in care as a child and she lost her mum and dad to suicide. When that happened she went into using drugs.
