The family of a 27-year-old mum whose body was discovered inside an old ambulance parked on a street have paid tribute.

Gila Brown was sadly pronounced dead at the scene in Gorton Street, North Shore in Blackpool at around 9.30am on Thursday. Two men were arrested on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug but Lancashire Police said the 27-year-old’s death is not suspicious.

Her heartbroken sisters Katie, Carly and Jordan were shocked by her death and have now shared an emotional tribute to Gila - “a loving mum, sister, daughter, auntie, cousin and loyal friend”.

Sister Katie said: “Just so people know my sister has a name. She is Gila Brown and she was my beautiful my little sister. She was also a daughter, auntie, mother and a cousin. She was an amazing person despite her demons that she was facing.

“She was so loving, caring, beautiful and smart. She was loved by so many, she didn't deserve any of this. I would just like people to show some respect and share this and get her picture and her name around.”
