A coroner subsequently ruled that Lucy-Bleu's death had been a suicide, with their investigation revealing that Lucy-Bleu had left notes to her loved ones.
The report added that the 25-year-old had 'a history of undiagnosed mental illness', saying that her family had said that 'she was paranoid and would have hallucinations'.
At the time of her death, Lucy-Bleu had been staying at an Airbnb rental, and had been scheduled to stay at the property for four days after she checked in on July 15.
The manager of the property had made a number of attempts to contact Lucy-Bleu.

However, she found that she was 'unable to access the front door, which seemed to have resistance when she attempted to open it.'
After being unable to access the property, the manager then called emergency services to carry out a welfare check.
