A GRIEVING brother “haunted” by his little sister’s suicide took his own life just months later – because he “couldn’t live without her”.
Tragic Dyllon Beadle, 21, killed himself as he battled demons after beloved sister Quinn, 17, died ten months ago, with shattered mum Tracey revealing “this world was just too cruel for him”.
The young lad – who dedicated himself to a charity in his sister’s name – was found dead on October 8 in Durham just two months before Quinn’s anniversary.
Shattered Tracey said: “In the early hours of Tuesday morning our beautiful son Dyllon decided that this world was just too cruel for him.
“He took the awful decision to take his own life just as his little sister Quinn did in December.
“I just hope that somehow, somewhere they are together again. This world is a darker place without them. Our hearts are broken.”
“Kind and funny” Quinn was found hanged from a tree at the end of her street in December 2018 just moment after telling her family she was “popping out”.
Devastated dad David, 39, came across the scene when he saw police and paramedics while walking their dogs.
Quinn had ordered her favourite takeaway dish of chicken korma before announcing she was heading out.
Brave Tracey, 40, told The Mirror: “Our beautiful son Dyllon decided that this world was just too cruel for him.
“He took the awful decision to take his own life just as his little sister Quinn did in December.
“He was haunted by her death and couldn’t live without her. They are together again and that is some comfort.
“I think I always knew Dyllon would do this because I knew he couldn’t bear to be without her, but I hoped he could have held on a bit longer.
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
“This world is a darker place without them. Our hearts are broken.”
The tree where Quinn took her life has been turned into a memorial for Quinn, complete with candles, flowers, bird boxes and lights.
Her family said they initially wanted to cut the tree down to ease their pain, but have now turned it into a memorial to remember her.
A bench with a dedicated plaque paying tribute to the teen has also been installed at the site.
The family launched a charity called Quinn’s Retreat to help other families going through the same thing.
The day Quinn took her life was described as a normal day at home as she baked with her mum and watched TV with her before they ordered their takeaway and she went out.
Distraught father David took the dogs for a walk 20 minutes later to the end of the street when he saw the ambulance and police cars.
They feared the worst when they realised Quinn hadn’t taken her keys with her when she left the house.
Tracey said her daughter’s behaviour changed after it was alleged a man in his 50s groomed Quinn over a three-month period in December 2016.
Durham Police investigated the allegations but no arrests were made.
Tracey said previously: “We saw a change in Quinn after this. She just went very secretive. She didn’t want to be around people. She was very down.
“She always saw the best in everyone and she felt that trust had been broken.”
Quinn was seen by a social worker for eight weeks and by CAHMS in March 2017.
In June 2018, the teen was prescribed anti-depressants after telling her GP she was “feeling down”.
Tracey wrote online: “When we lost Quinn, Dyllon set up the just giving page in order to raise money for If U Care Share Foundation. We raised just over £2500 for them in Memory of Quinn.
“Dyllon was a leading force in setting up Quinn’s retreat and was a proud trustee. I think it would be very fitting to raise some much needed funds for Quinn’s Retreat in memory of our amazing son Dyllon.
“You can do so here.
“The Fundrazr site do take an admin fee from each donation so if you would rather all of your donation goes to Quinn’s Retreat please use our PayPal and pay using friends and family.
“When sharing, please copy and paste the text as it is only sharing the fundraising link otherwise. Thank you all so much.”
