Stacey shared heart-wrenching images of the criminology student after suffering brain stem death as a warning to others about the dangers of drugs.

The post went viral with more than 200,000 likes and shares as Stacey bravely told the world her sister, who had previously volunteered for drugs charities, was dead and had donated her organs on May 7.

She included pictures of a letter Lucy had written last summer in which she thanked her big sister for always being there and vowed to ‘repay her one day – I hope’.

Stacey said: ‘Anyone would say she was like a sunshine – her hair was bright blonde, and she was always smiling.

‘She used to be terrified of getting into trouble. She didn’t even drink that much.

‘I can’t believe it. She tried to make a difference in everyone’s life, she helped everybody – and she was just happy.

‘I hate what has happened so much. She was clever, and she had everything going for her until, obviously, she didn’t.’

Lucy, who was studying criminology at the University of the West of England, was a dedicated top-mark student looking forward to getting her degree in the summer.

She loved helping people and had volunteered with the Bristol Drugs Project to help recovering addicts get clean.

But after getting involved with the ‘wrong crowd’ and finding herself dabbling in drugs, she suddenly dropped out of university and lost contact with many of her closest friends and family in January.

Stacey claims doctors told her tests confirmed Lucy had taken cocaine and powerful prescription drug pregabalin when she suffered a seizure.

She collapsed at home while partner Ian O’Donoghue was cooking a pie in the next room, who called the ambulance and started CPR.

Despite being rushed to intensive care at Southmead Hospital, Bristol, Lucy died four days later.

Stacey, a security officer, said: ‘I got a call in the middle of the night and it was just my nan screaming down the phone saying “It’s Lucy, it’s Lucy, she’s nearly died”.

‘When I got there, the doctor said a 24-year-old doesn’t just collapse and have a seizure for no reason, she must have taken something.

‘The doctors first said that she’s going to be severely brain damaged, and then they said they thought she was brain stem dead.

‘Once you’re brain stem dead there’s no reversal from that, there’s no getting better, it’s just that.

‘When the tests confirmed it, I wanted to spend the last of her time here with her on my own.

‘I just sat by her bedside and held her hand.’

According to Stacey, Lucy fell in with the wrong crowd in May 2017 when peer pressure, anxiety and loneliness during the summer drove her to cocaine and her life spun out of control.

Stacey, from Bristol, said: ‘I got a message from her ex-boyfriend who told me she had started taking drugs and he was really worried about her.

‘Lucy and I were about to go on holiday together, so I decided to wait until we were there to confront her.

‘I hadn’t seen her in a while – obviously she didn’t want me to see her – and she looked like an absolute mess.

‘She had lost so much weight and she was so skinny. She usually has her eyebrows, lashes and nails done, but she didn’t look right.

‘I just said to her ‘I know everything, you need to tell me now’ and she started crying and couldn’t breathe.

‘She said she was sorry that she didn’t tell me, and I was furious, but I basically said ‘I’m going to help you, but you’ve got to help yourself’.

Stacey has since released a balloon with Lucy's name and the words 'love you x' into the sky in a devastating final goodbye to her baby sister (pictured together in 2005)

‘I told her I’d help her get clean but that she had to stay away from the people taking drugs.’

Lucy moved in with her sister for the summer, got a new job working security at a local nightclub and kicked the drugs.

But she hadn’t been able to break contact with the people who had introduced her to drugs and, living alone again, she fell into her old habits after Christmas.

Despite the drugs in her system, it was decided Lucy, who had selflessly agreed to be an organ donor before her seizure, could give her liver, kidneys and pancreas to help others live.

Ian, 36, said: ‘Lucy was the love of my life. The girl was absolutely beautiful, inside and out.

‘She wasn’t one to say a bad word about anyone. I am heartbroken.’

Lucy was a big Harry Potter fan during her childhood (she is pictured with the books in 2005)
