A TikTok star and mum-of-two shared a heartbreaking last photo with her two sons just days before her tragic and unexpected death.
Jehane Thomas, 30, had previously spoken about suffering from migraines and 'bouts of illness' and told her 56,000 followers earlier this month she had been diagnosed with optic neuritis.
The mum, from Doncaster, south Yorkshire, who was described as having a 'kind and genuine soul' died "unexpectedly" on Friday, March 17.

Just days before her death, Jehane shared that she had endured a "really challenging week" both physically and mentally, Yorkshire Live reports.
She told her followers on Instagram that she felt like her sons, Isaac and Elijah, had 'grown up so much' while she was away in hospital.
Sharing her thoughts with her 31,100 Instagram followers just days before she died, Jehane said: "Six days admitted into hospital and I'm finally home with my boys. It's been a really challenging week, not just physically but mentally. I've missed these two so much and feel like they've both grown up so much whilst I've been away.
"After sharing my experience, many of you have told me to go and speak to PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service) which I'll be doing in the morning. I'm then going to email my neurologist and see what plan of action he had in place because I can not keep living life like this.
"I may be home but I'm still struggling with these migraines as nothing was really done to help them after a whole week of being there and I'd rather self medicate at home with these around me then left me in a bed on my own all day and night, so I may not be fixed but I'm not giving in."
She added: "Thank you to everyone who has reached out but most importantly thank you to my parents and Liam for taking over the boys and the house for me.
"Always making sure they were looked after. Thank you for making sure they knew mummy was OK and sending me pictures and videos to help me get through the longest days in hospital without them.
"A huge shoutout to my besties, Alyx, Kirsty, and Marc, for being by my side in the hospital when I was at my worst and not forgetting Alex for watching the boys for us and Jodie and Ciara for chipping into a huge bag of goodies for me that Alyx pampered me with.
"I adore you all and here's to fighting to getting these migraines gone for good." Almost 500 friends, fans, and followers have posted tributes to Jehane in the comments.
