English actress, socialite, TV presenter and friend of the Royal Family, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, has been found dead at her London flat, aged 45.
The former “It Girl” who had appeared on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here had recently revealed she was being treated for a brain tumour – a non-malignant growth in her pituitary gland.
Scotland Yard said officers were called by the ambulance service at 1.40pm on Wednesday to an address in south-west London, adding: “A woman, aged in her 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene. At this early stage police are not treating the death as suspicious. Inquiries into the circumstances are ongoing. The coroner has been informed.”
Next of kin have also been informed.
She was god-daughter to Prince Charles.
Of her tumour, Palmer-Tomkinson told the Daily Mail in November: “I got terribly frightened. I started thinking, I’m going to die.”
The tumour, which was discovered after she went for blood tests after feeling ill in the summer of 2015, had been successfully reduced by the treatment, she told the newspaper.
Her death is classified as treated as unexplained but not suspicious.
