A mum sent her daughter a heart emoji in her final text before she was found dead in her bed. The heartbroken family of Maxine Browne, 54, are still waiting to find out what caused her death just weeks before Christmas.
Maxine's body was found in her bed at home in Smallthorne, near Stoke-on-Trent, on December 10, after concerns were raised when she had not been heard from in three days. Staffordshire Police smashed their way into her home and tragically found her body, StokeonTrentLive reports.
The grandmother leaves behind two daughters, Taniqa, 28, and Terri-Anne, 35, as well as two grandchildren, Harvey, 10 and Nevaeh, two. Taniqa was the last person to have contact with Maxine when the pair exchanged texts, with Maxine replying with a heart emoji in her final message.
