Jack's mother, Sandra, 53, paid a moving tribute to the promising young dancer from the family home in Uxbridge, west London. 

She told The Mirror: 'We don't know why he did it, he didn't leave a note. He did not have depression.  

'Suicide can happen to anyone at any time. People can't believe Jack is gone. We are the same.

'I want people to know that this can happen to any family. There is no stereotype – it doesn't have to be a manic depressive who has shown signs of mental health problems.'
