In a recent interview, Eamonn Holmes has shared the heartbreak over the death of Ruth Langsford’s sister. Ruth’s elder sister Julia was found dead at her home by her husband recently in June.
Opening up about their devastating loss, Eamonn told the Daily Star: “It’s just the unanswered questions. Sudden death is a very, very difficult thing to deal with, and with Julia you know, she was just the most lovely, gentle, kind person.
“I often used to joke to her and Ruth that I got the wrong sister, but she was a lovely, lovely person – tortured by mental depression. Ruth was very caring, very loving to her and I think there can often be guilt when you think, ‘Should I have been there? Where was I?’.”
Julia had spoken openly about her struggles with mental illness and depression. After Julia’s death, Ruth shared on Twitter, “My lovely sis Julia has sadly died after a very long illness. My heart is completely broken.
“She was the kindest and most gentle soul and I will miss her forever. As I am sure you will appreciate I need to take time to grieve with my family. Thank you for your understanding.”
