"It is with unbearable sadness that I have to announce the sudden death of my beautiful, much adored daughter Natalie," the Maldon district councillor said on Facebook.

Ms Lewis asked anyone contacted by "Natty" on Thursday night to get in touch with police and said her daughter's mobile phone was missing - possibly left on a train from London Liverpool Street to Ipswich.
