'HOW PEAK': Izzy Gentry tweeted she was going to hospital two days before she died

Isabel Gentry – known to her friends as Izzy – was taken to hospital with a severe headache while she was in the middle of her AS revision.

The Year 12 student at Bristol's St Brendan's Sixth Form College, died on Friday last week.

She had tweeted about being rushed to hospital in an ambulance just two days before her sudden death.

RIP: Tributes to the 'bubbly' teena have poured in

LAST TWEETS: If only she knew how serious the headache really is

The 16-year-old tweeted twice last Wednesday and wrote: "Lol I knew something was up.

“Did not expect I'd be rushed to hospital in an ambulance, how peak."

Ironically earlier on Tuesday evening, she retweeted a friend's tweet, which read: "I have such a bad headache but I need to revise."

TRAGIC: Izzy was at sixth form

Following her tragic death, thousands of tributes flooded in on social media for the popular teen.

Many described her as a good friend, who was "gorgeous" and "bubbly", with "amazing energy".

Isabel's step sister Betty Booty wrote on Facebook on Saturday: "I am very hesitant to post this, but feel this is the easiest way to tell my family and friends at the same time.

"Yesterday my beautiful step sister Izzy Gentry passed away.

"My heart is broken knowing we will not be able to do so many of the things we have always talked about.

"We were both the sisters neither of us ever had and you will forever be by my side for the rest of my life.

“Rest in paradise, my little best friend xxxxxxxxxx"

SELFIE: Izzy was obviously popular

Her close friend Eryn O'Connell also paid tribute on Facebook: "Life's taken from us so fast and so harshly, you were without a doubt one of the most bubbly souls going with an amazing energy, always x you brought so much life to us all and it will never be the same without you Izzy Gentry xx."

Avon Coroner's Court said the inquest into Ms Gentry's death is set to be opened next week.

The Government has rejected calls from more than 820,000 people for a meningitis B vaccine to made available to all British children.
