While police are not treating her death as suspicious, mystery surrounds a final message apparently left on her Facebook page.

Her grandfather, Dennis Gammon, confirmed a message, now deleted, had been left on his granddaughter’s Facebook page.

It follow comments made to the media by his daughter, Carolyn Gammon, the teenager’s aunt, who urged youngsters not to express their feelings on websites but to talk to people face-to-face instead.

Friends have left tributes on the Model Mayhem website, of which Gabby was a member. Ross McMaster, a photographer, said: “Rest in peace Gab, you beautiful girl. You will be missed so much, but never EVER forgotten! xxx.”
