Love Island star Sophie Gradon tragically took her own life two weeks ago, and in a tragic twist her heartbroken boyfriend has been found dead.
Aaron Armstrong, who discovered Sophie’s body, posted an emotional Instagram tribute to his girlfriend on Monday, following her funeral.
He wrote: “😢 just wish I could cuddle you all day miss you so much man.
“Sophie not a minute goes by with out your gorgeous smile being a picture in my mind everyday we spent together was so amazing I need them days back 😢💔 I love you princess 🌹🌹”
Aaron was living in Newcastle, but had been staying with his parents in Blyth since Sophie’s passing.
In a haunting message, Aaron took to social media last week, writing: “I will see you very soon angel.”

Many have taken to Twitter to mourn the loss of both Aaron and Sophie.
My heart is breaking over the news of Aaron Armstrong. It’s absolute gut wrenching to think that he loved @sophiegradon so much that he felt that he couldn’t live without her! Mirrors the actions of my dad who just couldn’t face a life without my mum. Hope both are at peace x
