Sister of beauty queen who died at Michael Owen's stables speaks out as family wait for medical results

The sister of a former beauty queen who died while working at Michael Owen's stables has spoken out as her family wait for blood test results to come back.

Jessica Whalley was a transport manager at Manor House Stables in Malpas, Cheshire which is owned by the former Liverpool FC star and his daughter Gemma Owen. Jessica died after collapsing at the stables shortly before 7.30am on March 28.

Jessica's half sister Leonna Mayor thought the post-mortem would shed light on a underlying heart condition, but it did not. However, she says Jessica is believed to have had a cardiac arrest, reports the Liverpool ECHO. The family are also waiting for the toxicology results.
