Teenage model, 16, killed herself under train 'after boy cancelled their cinema date' by text message

A teenage model killed herself under a train after a text from a boy cancelling a date at the cinema, an inquest heard today.

Gabrielle Joseph, 16, told friends on Facebook: 'I am going to kill myself tonight' after being upset when the date fell through.

Gabrielle - known as Gabby when she modelled for top fashion chain Hollister - was left 'distressed' after receiving a message cancelling the date at 8.15pm.



The inquest heard she died just 75 minutes later from multiple injuries after she was hit by the 75mph Milford Haven to Cardiff train near her home on Easter Monday.

Gabrielle told friends on Facebook that she was upset that the boy had cancelled their trip to the cinema the following night.

Miss Joseph, who was studying for her A-levels and lived with mother Julie, a hairdresser, and father Terry, was a model for Hollister.

Weeks before her death her portrait had been chosen as an image of the week by Digital Photographer magazine.
