Tragedy as Scottish mum found dead by sister after going to bed with stomach bug

A diabetic Scottish mum was tragically found dead in her home by her sister after suffering from a sickness bug.

Joanna Reekie was found in her Glenrothes home in Fife after being bed-bound for nearly two weeks on March 12. Just days later she was discovered having suffered a diabetic ketoacidosis - a condition which occurs when the body doesn't have enough insulin.

Joanna's sister Lauren and dad Lawrence found the 37-year-old and tried to perform CPR but she was sadly pronounced dead by doctors at the scene.
