Princes' cousin found dead at home
Rosie Roche, who was the granddaughter of Princess Diana's uncle, died at home in Norton, Near Malmesbury in Wiltshire, on July 14.
The 20-year-old was found by her mother and sister after she had been packing for a trip away with friends, an inquest heard on Sunday. A firearm was found nearby.
Roche had been attending Durham University where she studied English Literature.
An inquest was opened at Wiltshire and Swindon coroner's court and adjourned until Oct 25.
Grant Davies, the area coroner, said police 'have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement'.
A spokesman for the family said she 'will be sorely missed'.
An obituary published by the Yorkshire Post said: 'Roche, Rosie Jeanne Burke. Died on Monday 14th July 2025.
'Darling daughter of Hugh and Pippa, incredible sister to Archie and Agatha, granddaughter to Derek and Rae Long.
'Private family funeral. A memorial service will be held at a later date.'
The student was a descendant of the Barons Fermoy and the eldest child of Edmund Hugh Burke Roche, 53, and his wife the former Phillipa Kate Victoria Long.
Her grandfather was the 5th Baron Fermoy, Princess Diana's uncle, who shot himself dead in 1984.
Last February, Thomas Kingston, 45, the son-in-law of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, was found dead at his parents' home with a 'catastrophic head injury' and a gun close to his body.
Lady Gabriella Windsor has said her husband took his own life in an 'impulsive action' prompted by a cocktail of sleep and anxiety drugs.

Worcestershire musician felt ignored by police after she was cyberflashed
A musician said she was ignored by her local police force and made to feel "a nuisance" after she was sent pornographic images and videos by a man she had met once at Downes, who waived her right to anonymity, said cyberflashing needed to be taken more seriously and she felt forced to investigate the crime reported it to West Mercia Police in September but it took nearly half a year for Ben Gunnery to be arrested, convicted and given a two-year community order.A spokesperson for the force said they have apologised to Ms Downes for the time it took to transfer her case to the Metropolitan Police. The professional violinist and teacher, from Worcestershire, met Gunnery, a fellow musician, once in 2024 when they played at the same concert."I [then] started to get a bunch of messages that had been deleted. Ten of them at once, sent late at night," she said."Then the next morning he'd message saying 'oops, sorry, smashed'." Then she received explicit and indecent photos and videos showing him naked."I was just stunned and felt horrified and violated," she said."I had quite a long period of time where I would struggle to get to sleep at night and every time I shut my eyes, I would be faced with these images 45, from Vauxhall, south west London, performed music for films, toured the world and, at the time of his offence, was teaching children and Downes immediately blocked him and reported what had happened to West Mercia sent the force the images and links to his social media, website and work address and also reported it to the Musicians' Union."I thought, from everything I'd read in the media, that it would be taken seriously and dealt with," she said. Ms Downes' statement was taken and she was told the case would most likely be passed to the Metropolitan Police as the man lived in several months there appeared to be no September to January, she got in touch with West Mercia Police more than 20 told her the Met would not accept the case as they were not able to find the man's home confused Ms Downes as West Mercia Police had told her they knew where he lived."It just made me more and more resentful and less hopeful that anything would come of it really," she said. In January, she contacted the then got in touch with both forces and, within two weeks, West Mercia Police had transferred the case to the a week, Gunnery was arrested, charged and appeared in a trial in May, he was found guilty of intentionally sending the images to cause alarm, distress and 45-year-old told the court he had struggled with a cocaine addiction for four years, he could not remember messaging her and he had meant to send the images to his court heard he had been previously convicted of a similar offence in 2023 when he had twice sent indecent and offensive images to a woman he had met through Tuesday, Gunnery was given a two-year community order including 150 hours of unpaid work and Judge Nermine Abdel Sayed told him he would be sent to prison if he judge said he should have known the impact his actions would have and that his victim now feels "like she has to constantly look over her shoulder". Cyberflashing, when offenders send unsolicited explicit images to people via an online platform, such as messaging applications and social media, became a crime in the UK in January 2023.A YouGov poll found four in 10 women, aged 18 to 34, had received an unsolicited sexual photo from someone who was not a romantic Downes said she chose to speak out to encourage others."It would be much easier for me to just become a statistic," she said."I've done nothing wrong. I was just doing my job. Ben Gunnery chose to send me pornographic images. I did nothing to encourage that behaviour."Most men are not like this and this behaviour needs to be called out. It's not something that I want my sons to think is normal."It's very easy to feel some element of shame and keep it to yourself. But right from the word go, I was determined I wasn't going to do that."Ms Downes said she was inspired to keep pushing the police to investigate her complaints by the experience of BBC correspondent Lucy received sexually explicit phone calls from a stranger but her case was dropped by the police and only reopened after a Victims' Right to Review was carried hearing Lucy interviewed on BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show, Ms Downes said she became more determined to get justice. Ms Downes said her experience seemed at odds with the inquiry into Sarah Everard's killer Wayne Couzens, a police officer who abducted, raped and murdered her while off government accepted the inquiry's recommendations that there should be a fundamental review of how indecent exposure was Ms Downes said she felt her case was not a priority for West Mercia Police."I feel that they're fobbing me off really. I've reported this crime. It is the police's job to investigate it," she said."As the victim, I want to know that my crime is dealt with quickly and with results."I felt gaslit by West Mercia Police. I felt ignored and they made me feel like I was a nuisance."A spokesperson for the force said they understood her frustrations over the delay in their investigation, had apologised and given her a "full explanation".An internal review concluded West Mercia's service was "acceptable" and officers complied with policy while the crime was being transferred to another Met's spokesperson told us they regret "any distress caused by this delay" and admitted there were delays in confirming the man's address.A Wandsworth Council spokesperson said Gunnery was suspended from his teaching role and would not be employed by the college again.

Penny Mordaunt reveals she is a victim of 'humiliating and violent' AI-generated deepfake porn - and says she is not the only politician whose face has been used
Penny Mordaunt has revealed that she has been the victim of 'deliberately humiliating and violent' deepfake porn. The former Leader of the House of Commons made the candid confession in an interview with Victoria Derbyshire on Tuesday. She told the BBC Newsnight interviewer that the perpetrators should consider the consequence of their actions and called for tighter controls on social media. The former MP for Portsmouth North also revealed that upsetting instances of abuse such as deepfake porn are a regular occurance. She told the BBC programme: 'Well, not a week has gone by in my parliamentary career when something of this nature hasn't happened.' Non-consensual deepfake pornography is the production of an image using artificial intelligence. The creator combines a photograph and uses AI to remove clothes or create a fake nude photo in the likeness of a real person. Ms Mordaunt explained she had first learned that she had been a victim of a deepfake image following an investigation by Channel 4 presenter Cathy Newman who uncovered 250 famous individuals whose likeness had been stolen. She added: 'My face had been used, AI porn generated, deepfake porn. It happened to a number of parliamentarians.' Other victims included Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, former education secretary, Gillian Keegan, and Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, Priti Patel. Following her 'humiliating' experience, the former MP has called for tighter controls on social media and online platforms and raised concerns around access by children to deepfake pornogpraphy. 'I would ask the people behind this, don't they realize the consequences in the real world when they do something like that,' she said, 'because although I haven't seen this myself, it was deliberately humiliating and violent and that plays across into the real world. 'It plays across in to people taking actual real world actions against ourselves and that has happened to me, it's happened to a lot of my colleagues. She added: 'The worry for me is actually more with children and we wouldn't want people to see these things on the walk to school. 'If they did, they'd be in therapy. But we have seemed to be perfectly happy for them to see it online. And so I'm with the Australians on this. We need to go much further, and we need to recognize the real harm this is doing to young people.' Victoria Derbyshire clarified that Ms Mordaunt was referring to the social media ban for under-16s in Australia to which the former Minister for Women and Equalities explained that she wanted the government to do more in tackling the harmful act. Ms Mordaunt even called on X owner Elon Musk to step in and improve age verifications to protect children. She said: 'I would ban certain social media platforms. And I think the government needs to have some courage here in addressing these issues with people like Elon Musk. 'That man is taking the human race to Mars. I'm sure he can figure out age verification and what needs to follow from that.' She ex-parliamentarian added that despite the more difficult sides of being in the public eye, she found that her role in Parliament was still generally positive. The creation of deepfake porn is illegal in the UK following a new Online Safety Act which was brought in last year. It includes the sharing or threatening to share intimate photos of someone without their permission and this includes deepfake images.

Shocking toll of British fatalities at Spanish 'death hotel': How at least seven tourists have died at Ibiza Rocks amid mounting fury over safety at famed party resort
For twenty years, San Antonio's Ibiza Rocks has organised some of the biggest events of the summer, welcoming huge names and thousands of guests to its star-studded pool parties. A brightly coloured panopticon of hotel rooms overlooks the vast courtyard below, meaning tourists are never more than a minute away from the action. But on Monday, as the summer festivities came into full swing, the venue announced it was pausing all advertised events. It was the 'right thing' to do, it said, in the wake of two tragic deaths on its premises. The statement came just hours after the death of Gary Kelly, a young British ice hockey player who fell from the third floor of the hotel just after midnight on July 21. In the days before, the hotel had faced criticism over the decision to stay open following the death of Evan Thomson, who fell from the sixth floor earlier this month. In their time of grief, friends and family bravely came together to share their pain and concerns for the safety of others. Mr Thomson's sister, Telia, urged that a glass panel atop the balconies would be enough to save 'further families having to go through this unbelievable pain'. James Shand, a friend, acknowledged it was not the first time someone had died at the hotel. 'If something like this happened in the UK, the place would get shut down,' he told Press and Journal, describing the venue as 'inhumane'. The tragedies have brought into focus past incidents at the resort and raised important questions about local regulations and responsivity to crisis. Ibizan outlet Noudiari, reporting on Tuesday, assessed that the 'latest incident adds to a worrying statistic that has led some people to refer to Ibiza Rocks as the "Death Hotel"'. There is nothing to suggest the hotel is responsible for the deaths. MailOnline has contacted Ibiza Rocks Hotel for comment. Nineteen-year-old Gary Kelly died after falling from the third floor of the Ibiza Rocks hotel in the early hours of Monday, July 21. Police said that initial investigations suggested his fall from a balcony had been accidental. Two ambulances were sent to the scene at around 12.40am, but paramedics were unable to revive the teenager. Hours later, Ibiza Rocks announced that it was 'pausing' its advertised events programme, 'given the seriousness of the situation and out of respect for those involved'. 'The safety and wellbeing of our guests has, and always will remain, our highest priority.' The decision came days after the death of 26-year-old Evan Thomson, who died at the venue on July 7, while on holiday with friends. The young man from Aberdeen was found by friends after a fall from the sixth-floor of the hotel, before being pronounced dead by paramedics. His mother, Lel Kellighan, confirmed her son's tragic passing on social media. 'We are all absolutely broken,' she wrote, adding: 'Please allow us some time.' Gary Kelly, pictured right, died on Monday, July 21. He is pictured with his girlfriend, Louise Essery, who remembered him as an 'inspiring' partner In the days that followed, his friends and family spoke to the press to raise their concerns around safety on site. Blair Robertson, 25, told Press and Journal how excited his friend had been to see him as they met up at their San Antonio hotel. 'I'd never been abroad, and being there with my mates made it special,' he said. He said Mr Thomson was 'careful' with how much he drank. 'He wasn't reckless at all - that's why this is such a shock.' After a night out, the group returned to the hotel. When Mr Roberston woke up, he found Mr Thomson was missing. Mr Thomson had fallen from the sixth-floor balcony and was lying on the ground. Paramedics did not come for around half an hour, Mr Robertson said. The friends were taken to the hotel manager's office and allowed back to their room to pack up their belongings after about 90 minutes. 'We heard the jet washes from the ground cleaning the area where Evan died and it had only been 90 minutes or so since he was found. 'That was the worst thing for us to hear – how fast they tried to get things back to normal,' he said in a brave recollection in the days following the tragedy. The group were concerned that the balcony wall was only around 3ft high, according to the outlet. His sister, Teila, said a panel on or behind the wall would 'save upset from further families having to go through this unbelievable pain'. Friend Remi Duncan, 23, also expressed concerns about how the incident had been handled. 'It was disgusting. There was minimal respect for the situation, considering the music went back on soon after Evan had died. It puts a pit in your stomach.' James Shand, another friend, said: 'Seeing them post "are you all ready for the next event?" within hours of it happening was sickening.' He observed that it was not the first time somebody had died at the venue. On April 27, a 19-year-old Italian tourist died after falling from the fourth-floor of the hotel, having flown out the previous day. She was said to have gone out partying before returning home to find she was locked out, and reportedly tried to reach her room via a balcony from a shared area of the hotel. While climbing over, she lost her footing and fell. Three days later, a British woman collapsed and died in her room at the hotel. Paramedics and police rushed to the hotel and spent around 40 minutes trying to revive her, but she sadly died at the scene. The 33-year-old, who has not been named, reportedly had a cardioverter defibrillator implant, which is used to monitor the heartbeat and treat abnormal heart rhythms. In a statement regarding the deaths, Ibiza Rocks Hotel said: 'Following the tragic events that occurred this week due to causes beyond our control, IRG expresses its dismay and extends its utmost support to the families of the victims, thanking people for respect for their privacy in a situation of immeasurable pain.' Such incidents are sadly not uncommon. In August 2020, the hotel was praised for how it handled the untimely death of a young woman after she was found lifeless in her hotel room. Amy Connor, 23, was staying at the famous party destination in the resort town of San Antonio, with her sibling, Toni, 26, and cousin, Alison, when she passed away in her sleep. The group, from Coleraine in Northern Ireland, had been sunbathing before going back to their room to rest on August 20. 'We had been down to the pool and then came back up to the room for a while, so Amy got into the shower and then got into bed,' Toni recalled. It was unclear what had caused the unexpected death at the time, but Toni did commend how staff were towards the family. 'The hotel staff were incredible, we couldn't have asked for better,' she said at the time. 'They went as far as making us priority booking, they paid for our cases. I had given them my card to sort our travel home and I told them I didn't care what it cost just to get us home. 'They even offered to fly us via London but we would have had to stay overnight in London and they offered to pay for that hotel too but we just wanted to get home as quick as we could.' 'They packed our cases, they looked after us giving us food and water, you name it they brought it to us, I was so gob-smacked at their generosity in our time of need.' Toni remembered her sister as 'the kind of person if you met her once you'd definitely remember her'. 'She's so friendly and outgoing and she knows everyone, so we have been overwhelmed by the amount of people getting in touch since the news,' she said. Six years prior, Ibiza Rocks was at the centre of a probe into the actions of Spanish police after former rugby player Luke Rhoden died at the hotel. Luke Rhoden, 25, died on September 2, 2014. Police said he had fallen from a first-floor balcony. He then picked himself up before running through the hotel screaming 'someone's trying to kill me', a police source said. Officers from the Civil Guard restrained him and put him into an ambulance to be sedated. Rumours circulated on Twitter that Mr Rhoden had been beaten up by police before his death. A Civil Guard source said: 'Our officers do not beat people up. 'They restrained him for his own safety and helped him into the ambulance where he was sedated.' Paramedics spent 40 minutes trying to revive Mr Rhoden but he died at the scene. Norman Rhoden, his father, later called for an investigation after reading reports his son was 'excessively beaten' by police on social media. 'The feedback we have been getting on social media is suggesting something more untoward or sinister has happened as they were trying to contain him,' he said at the time, reported by the BBC. 'I'm not disagreeing that his behaviour may have been erratic, but what force have they used to subdue him? That's my concern, that's what I want to get to the bottom of.' An inquest jury in Bolton, Greater Manchester, found in 2016 that Mr Rhoden had died of asphyxiation caused by the excessive restraining methods adopted by the Guardia Civil and an adverse reaction to drug use. Among the evidence the jury saw was phone footage taken by former Thomson employee Annabelle Smith on the night of the tragedy. Coroner Kevin McLoughlin praised her and other independent witnesses for coming forward. Ms Smith only stopped filming after a Guardia Civil officer visited her apartment overlooking the death scene outside the Ibiza Rocks Hotel in San Antonio's West End and warned her to switch the phone off or she would be next. On August 31, 2008, British holidaymaker Michael Robertson, 23, collapsed at the hotel and later died after taking Ecstasy. The young tourist sadly died at the Can Misses Hospital after suffering repeated heart failure.
