The junior doctor and Devon Air Ambulance crew member whose body was found at her home in Devon had written online about the pressure of life working in the NHS.

Dr Rebecca Ovenden, 32, was found dead at 9.25am on Tuesday, March 28. Police were called to her home in Brecon Close, Hartley, Plymouth.

Colleagues have been paying tribute to the "talented" and "much-loved" junior doctor, who had worked at Derriford Hospital's emergency department for around 18 months as well as with Devon Air Ambulance.

It has now emerged that Dr Ovenden - known as Becky by friends and family - had in November 2015 written a Facebook post about the state of the NHS which had been shared 38,000 times.
