In a heartbreaking revelation that has left communities in shock, the post-mortem examination of 21-year-old British beauty queen Eleisha Skinner has uncovered a devastating double loss. The former Miss Faversham 2022, a vibrant university student known for her infectious smile and dedication to social work, was not only taken too soon in a freak accident but was also carrying an unborn child at the time of her death. She had been excitedly planning her wedding to her boyfriend for July this year, dreaming of a future filled with love and family.

The tragedy unfolded on January 5, 2026, outside student accommodation at Buckinghamshire New University in High Wycombe. Eleisha was unloading her belongings from her parked car when the vehicle suddenly rolled backward, pinning her against the building’s wall in a horrific compression. Despite the agony, the quick-thinking young woman managed to dial emergency services (999), alerting help within moments. Paramedics and her housemates rushed to free her, but the injuries proved catastrophic. She was transported to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where she fought for her life over three agonizing days before passing away on January 8.

The inquest at Beaconsfield Coroners Court later confirmed the medical cause of death as anoxic brain injury resulting from traumatic compression asphyxia. What emerged during the autopsy, however, shattered hearts further: Eleisha was pregnant. Sources close to the family described her as overjoyed about the impending arrival and her upcoming nuptials. The couple had been making plans for a summer wedding, envisioning a life together with their little one on the way. Instead, the accident robbed them of everything in an instant.

Eleisha Skinner rose to local fame in 2022 when she was crowned Miss Faversham, representing her hometown with grace and enthusiasm. Described by the Faversham Carnival Club as a “truly lovely girl” with an “infectious smile,” she was passionate about community work and her studies in social work. Friends and family remember her as someone who always spoke with love about those closest to her, radiating positivity even in challenging times.

Tributes poured in following the announcement of her passing. The Faversham Carnival Club expressed deep regret, calling her a “fantastic ambassador” for the town. Her devastated parents launched a GoFundMe to support the Thames Valley Air Ambulance, honoring the emergency services that tried so valiantly to save her. The revelation of her pregnancy has amplified the grief, turning what was already a senseless loss into an unimaginable family tragedy.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of how fragile life can be—one moment of routine turning into irreversible heartbreak. Eleisha’s story, cut short just as her brightest chapters were beginning, leaves behind a legacy of warmth, beauty, and unfulfilled dreams. Her family, boyfriend, and the child she never got to hold continue to mourn what could have been.
