Socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, 45, was found dead at her London flat (pictured left) yesterday. Doctors had recently cleared her of brain cancer, but she was also known to be suffering from a rare and debilitating auto-immune condition, which, left untreated, would eat away at her lungs and kidneys, viciously devouring her body from within. Police, who were called to her home just before 2pm, said her death was not suspicious, but they are treating it as 'unexplained'.
