Aleisha, who was 30 weeks pregnant, was found on her bathroom floor by paramedics who were sadly unable to revive her.

Her baby was also found to have no signs of life.

Aleisha’s family have since given her unborn baby the name Aria May.

The events leading up to Aleisha’s death are largely unknown, but her cousin has said that Aleisha went to sleep on the evening of December 27.

She was found dead a day later.

The 29-year-old is known to have suffered with epilepsy but it is unknown if this is related to her cause of death.

An inquest, aimed at examining the cause of her death, was launched in May 2025.

Ahead of the inquest, Area Coroner Kate Bisset said: “She was last seen alive by her family at around 11pm.

“At around 10am the following morning her cousin woke on the couch and noticed Aliesha was on the floor of her bedroom not moving.

“Paramedics [confirmed death] shortly afterwards. She was 30 weeks pregnant.

“The paramedics sadly confirmed no evidence of life from the baby.

“The final inquest will consider the cause of death and what led to the tragic loss of this young woman and her unborn baby.

“There is no suggestion of self-harm or any deliberate causes of this baby’s death.”

Aliesha’s family posted a touching tribute to their loved one on the website muchloved.com.

The post read: “This site is a tribute to Aliesha Fisher and AriaMay Wright.

“Aliesha is much loved and will always be remembered. Together forever.”
