A talented young Cumbrian singer died just days before she was due to audition for The X-Factor.

Seventeen-year-old Bethany Durose, who had lived with type one diabetes since the age of eight, died after she accidentally overdosed on the insulin she was taking to control her condition.

Her devastated parents, Michael and Patricia, told an inquest yesterday that their daughter, known to friends and family as Beth, had been due to attend an audition for The X-Factor in Manchester on March 26 last year.

She had been allocated a timeslot for the reality show, they said, and planned to perform Eva Cassidy?s Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Very sad :(
 
I just found this story elsewhere, and yet again you've beaten me to it!!

It is a tragic story, but a lesson and reminder to many of us. My thoughts go out to her family. :(
