This morning, a post on Bland’s Twitter account from her family said:
‘Our beautiful, courageous Rachael died peacefully this morning surrounded by her close family.We are crushed but she would want me to thank everyone who took an interest in her story or sent messages of support. You’ll never know how much they meant to her. Steve and Freddie xxx.’
On Monday she told the world she only had days to live and announced the heartbreaking final arrangements made for her family as she bravely faced death.
Her family confirmed that she had died this morning shortly after 3am, the BBC said. Our thoughts are with her family ?
