The parents of a ‘brilliant’ student who took her own life days after catching Covid have paid tribute to her ‘kind, genuine, bright and bubbly’ personality.
Sinead Bowles, 21, was tragically found hanged in her family home in Hanley, Staffordshire after telling friends she wished she could ‘go to sleep and not wake up’.
Her heartbroken parents, Andy and Anita Bowles say their daughter had shown no signs of feeling depressed or having mental health issues.
Sinead, who had been a team leader at theme park Alton Towers, ‘put her head down’ and studied while she was on furlough with work.
Days before her death, she had met up with friends and tested positive for Covid 19 forcing her into self-isolation.
Forty-eight-year-old Andy, who lives in Biddulph, Staffs, said: ‘I think her feelings came on quickly. She just felt she’d got Covid and was locked up.
‘Like a lot of parents who are in this position, the common denominator is you never expect your child to take that course of action.’
Sinead had just completed the second year of her degree course at Staffordshire University and hoped to eventually go on to Cambridge to do a master’s degree.
