A woman who was about getting married has met her early death in a most controversial manner after flying many miles for her fairytale wedding.
Gillian Stirzaker
A bride-to-be died after flying to Mauritius for a fairytale wedding.
According to the Mirror, Gillian Stirzaker fell ill a long way from the nearest hospital on the Indian Ocean island and died earlier this month.
Friends, former students and ex-colleagues turned to social media to share their condolences about the dance teacher. Ms Stirzaker, who was in her 40s, started work at Dawn Dawson's Academy of Dance and Stage, Bolton, in 1994.
Dawn Dawson, academy principal, paid a heartfelt tribute to Miss Stirzaker, who left her employment in 2010. Mrs Dawson said: "It's quite tragic. Gill worked for me for more than 20 years. She was a special lady.
"She came to me from leaving college and started teaching for me.
"She was very well liked by all the children and has a very good history of training students for their exam."
Students of Ms Stirzaker's went on to star in West End shows. Sunshine Dance Studios, based in Newport Street in Bolton town centre, posted on Facebook: "We are very sad to hear that Miss Gill has sadly passed away while on holiday.
"She was a fabulous ballet and jazz teacher and we are so grateful to have known her.
"Our thoughts are with her family at this time."
Ms Stirzaker had been vice-principal at Dolphin Dance Studio in Liverpool since 2004. More recently she ran her own businesses Dance Party UK and Clean and Bright from her home in Tong Road, Little Lever.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said: "Our staff are providing support to the family of a British woman who died in Mauritius on December 4 2015."
