“This weekend, our fight for my daughter’s life against depression, trauma, PTSD and drug addiction that we had been fighting since her emergency repatriation from America was over DFAT [Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade] has come to an end,” Schofield wrote on Facebook.
“She fought bravely against her demons, as we all did alongside her. Ultimately, the universe wanted their angel back with us – so she no longer suffered.” As her dad, I am immensely proud of my hero, daughter and best friend that I adore so deeply. While the battle may have ended prematurely, my love and admiration for her remains.”
