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'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.Ms Mayor, a former jockey who now works as a presenter on Sky Sports and ITV's coverage of horse racing, said: "She was very young and I feel the pain of my grandmother and aunt who were very close to her.
"We weren't that close because my father hasn't made much effort with his children over the years. But I felt a really weird sad emptiness really, not being close to her or having a relationship for the last few years." Former jockey Zander Voy also wrote on Twitter: "It’s heartbreaking to hear Jess lost her life today at the tender age of 25. She was riding out doing what she loved."
