A 21-year-old woman was discovered dead in her flat, just months after graduating from university.

Ellie Boswell from Wythenshawe in Manchester took her own life, despite appearing “always happy”.

She graduated from Edge Hill University in 2021 in performing arts, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Her sister, Connah Proudman, contacted the emergency services when she couldn’t get hold of Ellie.

She said: “She had shown zero signs of depression, it was completely out of the blue. We thought there was more chance of her getting hit by a bus than taking her own life.

“She was living in a flat in Liverpool at the time. Then one day no one could get hold of her.

“We thought she had gone out the night before. I spoke to her on the Saturday night and I just thought she was rough.

“I thought she was either hungover in bed, or she’d gone out or maybe even lost her phone. It got to the point where we had to get the police to break down her door. The toxicology report came back and she had hardly any alcohol in her system.

“Ellie had just graduated from Edge Hill in the summer. She was working as a mental health support worker in the Wirral and then she decided she wanted to join the army in a similar role.
