Cause Of Death, Suicide
Gracie Spinks, 23, a part-time model, was found critically injured in the picturesque village of Duckmanton, near Chesterfield, Derbyshire, yesterday morning. It is believed she was brutally attacked while she was tending her beloved horse, Paddy.
Paramedics rushed to Staveley Road at 8.40 am – five miles from her home in Old Whittington – in a desperate bid to save her life but she tragically died at the scene. The body of a man in his thirties was found a short time later across fields half a mile away.
Devastated pals of the aspiring eventer and showjumper told how she had recently been “bothered by a weird man who was totally obsessed with her.” One friend, who declined to be named, told The Sun: “We are aware that she had a stalker but didn’t know who he was. We heard she had taken out a restraining order against him because he was becoming quite a pest.
“She’s a beautiful young woman, very popular, and he was obsessed with her and kept turning up at the stables. He was infatuated with her.” The pal added: “But we don’t know if this man is the same man who killed her and then himself. “Gracie was a very private person who didn’t disclose much about her personal life. She had a close-knit circle of friends who she trusted.”
She said that Gracie’s mum Alison was “beside herself with grief,” adding: “The whole family is utterly distraught.” Another equestrian pal said: “Gracie didn’t have a boyfriend, she only had time for her horse and was always riding and loved competing whenever she could. She was a talented rider. “We heard a weird man was bothering her but don’t know if he was from the riding community. He was totally obsessed with her.”
Derbyshire Police declined to discuss the possibility Gracie had a stalker known to them. A forces spokesperson said: “We cannot confirm or deny this. As this is a live investigation we are not able to comment.” The name of the dead man has not yet been released but his family is aware.
Striking blonde six-foot Gracie, who described herself as “single” and “horse mad”, modeled part-time for a London agency to help pay for her horse and found her passion for showjumping, cross country, and dressage. She lost her stepfather David Heaton, aged 65, just last month, and posted on FB: “RIP to my stepdad, Dave. I’ll love and miss you forever.”
