According to Mr. Ashdown, although his partner had been sober for more than 18 months, she suddenly relapsed. He claimed she committed suicide.
Her ex-husband Jon, daughters Leta (19) and Marlo (14), and Mr. Ashdown and his three children from a previous marriage are Ms. Armstrong’s surviving family members.
