The family of a teenage soldier found dead on a military base last month have paid tribute to the teenager.
Gunner Jaysley-Louise Beck, 19, was found dead at the Larkhill military barracks on Salisbury Plain on December 15. On the same day, another soldier, Lance Corporal of Horse, Michael Miah, 28, was found dead at the nearby Bulford base.
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that an Army investigation has been launched into both deaths.
The Yorkshire Post reported that Ms Jaysley was pursuing a career in the armed forces after completing her training at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate.
Ms Jaysley’s family said that the military was a ‘huge part’ of her life.
They said she was a ‘kind and loving person’, who would go ‘above and beyond’ to help those less fortunate than her.
They added: ‘If there is ever a person who needs help, you could always count on Jaze to be there.
‘Her compassion for others and her ability to light up the room putting a smile on anybody’s face is immeasurable.’
The family have announced that they are raising money for the Principle Trust Children’s Charity, which provides free holidays to unprivileged, disabled, and disadvantaged young people across Yorkshire.
Writing on their fundraising page they said: ‘We believe this charity radiates the kind of positivity that Jaysley always had helping give children their dreams back.’
