 A few hours ago news broke that former Love Island star Sophie Gradon is dead. According to reports, the deceased killed herself after battling depression and money troubles, her friends have claimed.

Her friends also revealed that Gradon recently lost a close friend not so long ago which saw her fall into a ‘dark place’.  
 Some of her friends who spoke with The Sun last night: ‘She had suffered from depression and anxiety and there was the talk of financial issues which obviously adds to the worry she was enduring. ‘Her friends thought she was in a great place as she was madly in love with her boyfriend and life was good. ‘However, a good friend died and it affected her very badly.’  Photo Credit: Getty
