Biography
Thompson was born on May 10 1970 in Stafford. She was the only daughter of Dora Mitchell (1945-) and Stephen Thompson (1941-1975). She never knew her half-brother Jack or her adoptive brothers Sean, James and Harry.

On the night of July 30 1974, she was woken up by the sounds of her parents arguing downstairs. She entered a state of syncope as she could not stop coughing and was found one hour later, by her mother who went upstairs to check on her, after her father walked out of the house. She was found lying unconscious in her bed and after failing to wake her up, it was evident that she had died. An ambulance was called, but there was nothing that could be done and she was taken away in a body bag by the paramedics, who took her to the local hospital. An inquest into her death was held by a coroner, who confirmed that her death was unexpected. She was later buried at Stafford Cemetery, after her funeral.
