Mum's devastating phone call before sister died holding her hand

A mum-of-two has recalled the moment her "kind and loving" sister died holding her hand.

Catrin Rhiannon Rees died of organ failure at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, in February following a drug overdose. Her sister Bethan, who was just three years older, was in Liverpool when she received a phone call from her mum telling her Catrin had not turned up for work before she was rushed to hospital.

Bethan is hoping to raise awareness of Asperger's syndrome and suicide following her sister's death in a bid to help others. Catrin was 24 years old when she was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, Wales Online reports.
