Artist Daisy Boyd found dead, 28, at a private psychiatric hospital just months after split with £300m publishing heir fiance Dan Macmillan
ARTIST Daisy Boyd has been found dead at one of London's top private hospitals, just months after splitting from her £300 million publishing heir fiance.
The circumstances of Daisy's death remain unclear. The 28-year-old heir to the River Cafe's death whilst she was a patient at the £696-a-night Nightingale Hospital in Marylebone was discovered on Thursday night.
Tragic Daisy split from heir Viscount Dan Macmillan in July after the posh Old Etonian ended the relationship.
Daisy and Dan were together for three years, and could often be spotted together at top London social events.
Last night, a family friend said those close to Daisy were "devastated" by the tragic news.
"She was just 28 years old, and we are deeply pained that she has died so young. Daisy was a brilliantly vibrant and joyous person who lit up any room she entered.
"She had an infectious enthusiasm, and has been cut off in the prime of her life."
"Enormously popular, curious, generous and with a diamond sparkle, she was greatly loved by her family and friends, and the gap she leaves is, at the moment, unfathomable."
A report released by the Care Quality Commission earlier this summer found the private hospital, which specialises in treating psychiatric conditions, required improvement. It's findings included that "staff did not always know the whereabouts of patients within the hospital, who could be at risk of harming themselves or others."
A spokesman for the £5,000- a-week clinic said: ‘Nightingale Hospital sends our deepest sympathies to the family, but we are not in a position to comment owing to the delicacy of the situation and out of respect to the family.’
