THE daughter of Ilford South MP Mike Gapes has died suddenly.
Nineteen-year-old Rebecca Gapes, who was studying for a degree in American Studies at Canterbury University in Kent, was found dead in her room in Warwick Road, Canterbury, last Thursday (May 10).
Miss Gapes studied at Hainault Forest High School in Harbourer Road, Hainault and Wanstead High School in Redbridge Lane West, Wanstead, where she took her A levels.
Mayor of Redbridge, Cllr Muhammed Javed, sent a message of condolence to Mr Gapes and his family during a full meeting of Council last night where councillors stood to observe a minute’s silence.
