A mother has opened up about the death of her daughter’s death in a bid to track down whoever sold the drugs that killed her.

Eboney Cheshire was just 13 when she suffered a seizure that took her life shortly before Christmas in Rainhill, Merseyside.

Eight months on, the presents her mum Kerry Williams, 40, had bought for her still sit unopened in their home and her school blazer still hangs up in the porch as they continue to struggle to come to terms with her death.

Kerry came home on December 2 at around 7.30pm where she found Eboney sitting on the sofa in her coat, sending text messages.

After a long day at work, the mother spoke to her daughter about the state of the house, not knowing that those would be the last words she said to her.

Eboney left the room without saying anything to her mum who got on with the cleaning.

Later that evening, Kerry’s world was turned upside down.

She said: ‘I went to bed and heard a noise. At first I thought it was probably Eboney being silly on her phone. I heard the noise again and something just made me check on her.

‘She was in the dark, in her bed clothes and in bed. Her phone was at the other end of the room and her eyes were rolling to the back of her head. She was having a seizure.’

Paramedics found that her body temperature was dangerously high at 40°C and they fought to save her life.

Kerry said: ‘As soon as they opened the ambulance door Eboney was getting rushed into the hospital and they were resuscitating her. I just collapsed in the hospital.’

Four hours later, Eboney was dead.

Paying tribute to her, Kerry said: ‘She was so amazing, she was extremely funny. She would do accents, impressions, she was so animated, everybody just wanted to be around her.

‘There were friends knocking constantly, asking if Eboney was coming out. She was someone other people liked to be around. She was loyal but she was streetwise.

‘Although she didn’t go out a great deal she was sometimes older-headed, but she could be vulnerable as well. She was a poser, always in the mirror putting on make-up.

‘She never brought any trouble to my home. She didn’t like bullies and she had the gift of the gab, she was funny and no-one wanted to fall out with her.

‘She had such a big heart. I idolised her.’

Tests on her body revealed that she had MDMA in her body but it is not known where the drug came from and no traces were found in her room.

Security footage showed her buying food and drink from a local shop about half an hour before her mum came home which is when her mum thinks she may have come into contact with the drug.

Kerry is baffled as to why her daughter, who wanted to be a doctor, took the drug.

She said: ‘I don’t believe Eboney has just gone and met someone, taken ecstasy and come home. I think there has to be some kind of influence there.

‘I don’t understand the whole situation, going out for her tea, going home to bed and putting her nightie or whatever on.

‘I have tried to run through different scenarios – what if she did take it, felt unwell, maybe she tried to sleep it off.

‘I have been through different scenarios in my head and I can’t come to anything other than someone gave it to her on that night.’

Desperate for answers, Kerry has even blamed herself saying she should have noticed something was wrong.

She said: ‘My heart breaks every single day. Eboney was just 13 when she lost her life, and the night she passed away haunts me every day.

‘Why couldn’t I have saved her? Why didn’t I cool her down to bring her temperature down to stop her seizure? I work in healthcare so why didn’t my skills kick in? I blame myself.

‘Why weren’t my last words to her “I love you” before she went to bed. Every night I go to sleep I pray she will come to me in my dreams.

‘My baby was just 13, vulnerable, she wasn’t a naughty teenager, she was looking forward to taking her GCSEs in school, she wanted to be a doctor, to save life because she had a big heart with so much love to give.

‘Ebs was popular and I am proud to say she is mine, nothing will change that. I still sign her name on birthday cards because it feels like the right thing to do.

‘I still have two children not one. Eboney was an animated character , she oozed with confidence and made everyone laugh, not only by what she would say but how she could look at you.

‘I miss her face. I am so scared I will forget what she looks like in my head as time goes on or how her voice was and the sound of her laugh. That may sound silly, but it scares me.

‘Someone out there knows what happened to my baby that night and they are holding back on information.

‘I know people know, and if you have a heart or any type of guilt you need to do what’s right. I can’t continue like this, it has destroyed me, my family and Eboney’s friends.

‘We are all hurting, and I just want justice for my baby.’

Anyone with information should contact Merseyside Police.
