A 28-year-old mum took her own life on Christmas Day, leaving behind her son, aged nine. Jordan Carter was found dead at home after police were called to her property at 8.30pm on December 25 - the day before her birthday.
Devon and Cornwall Police say Jordan's death is not being treated as suspicious. Jordan's mother, Cheryl Carter, has paid tribute to her "large-than-life" daughter who "loved" her son, Kai aged nine, reports PlymouthLive.
Cheryl is now raising funds for Kai to put in a trust fund, so he can have access to it when he is 18. Cheryl said she and her family have been "overwhelmed by the generosity of people". So far, £1,488 has been raised for Kai.
