Sir, – The grieving parents of the late Amanda Davey wish to make a clarifying statement following the unexpected news headlines which were published across various media channels on July 20th, 2023, concerning their late daughter.
Amanda Davey was divorced from her estranged husband in December 2021 – almost six months before her death.
The divorce was very important to Amanda and she achieved this at the conclusion of a lengthy hearing from her hospital bed by video link directly to the court.
Since her estrangement from her ex-husband, Amanda used her maiden name, Amanda Davey, and this was important to her.
