THE family of Love Island star Sophie Gradon have insisted she didn't kill herself and want cops to look again at her death.

Their lawyers have delayed the inquest into her death, which was due to take place on Thursday, to look over new information.

The reality star's family have been adamant she didn't take her own life, after reports of depression and financial worries emerged after her death last year.

It has also been suggested the family have requested an adjournment due to evidence they think is still on Sophie's iPhone.

Her mum, Deborah, tweeted last month: "As the heartbroken Mother of #SophieGradon we are still waiting for an inquest date 8 months after her unexplained death.

"Why? Because the Police cannot open her iPhone for data extraction."

The MailOnline reports she said: "There is nothing to support the suggestion that Sophie committed suicide.

"We are still working through things to find out exactly what happened that night but it would be wrong to talk about that now as we do not want to prejudice the inquest when it does go ahead."

She was found dead at her parents' home in Medburn, Northumberland, on June 20, 2018.

It is understood her boyfriend, Aaron Armstrong, called for help before officers rushed to the house.

'NOTHING TO SUPPORT THE SUGGESTION SOPHIE COMMITTED SUICIDE'

In a tragic twist Mr Armstrong, 25, was found dead just 20 days later, with the inquest into his death set to take place tomorrow.

He had revealed her death at just 32 years old on Facebook, writing "I will never forget that smile I love you so so much baby your my world forever ever and always."

Aaron was found dead in Blyth, Northumbria, shortly after posting an Instagram tribute to Sophie – who starred on Love Island in 2016.

A Northumbria Police spokesman said: “The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report has been prepared for a coroner."

When Sophie died, her parents released a statement expressing their heartache: "It has been one week since we lost our precious daughter and we as a family are still coming to terms with our sudden loss.

"Our hearts are broken. We wish to say our goodbyes to Sophie in private so we ask that you respect our family's privacy during this arduous time."

Sophie's mum wrote a heartfelt message to Mike Thalassitis' family this week, saying she is "inconsolable" after the Love Island stars shock death.

Mike, 26, was found dead in woodland in North London on Saturday, and the Metropolitan Police have said today they were not treating his death as suspicious.
