British Beauty Queen fell to her death from 8-storey building in Caribbean after fiancé postponed wedding

A British beauty queen fell to her death from a building in the Caribbean after her fiancé told her he was postponing their wedding, an inquest had heard.

Shakara Taylor, 31, was left "distraught" after partner David Ravenscroft delayed their marriage plans. Mr Ravenscroft postponed the wedding saying they should "wait and see where we are in six months time."

Mr Ravenscroft told an inquest he and Miss Taylor - a world championship dancer - had set July 6, 2013, as the date for their wedding.

But in March 2013 he said he wanted to postpone the marriage which had left her feeling upset but she later calmed down.

Just weeks later she dropped him off at a health club and gave him a hug and kiss goodbye before promising to pick him up later.

But when he later texted her he received no reply and got a taxi home.
Miss Taylor, of Blackpool, Lancashire, had plunged from the roof of eight-storey luxury Carribean Club hotel on the seafront of the Grand Cayman island where they were living.

Mr Ravenscroft told an inquest on the tropical island: "She seemed to be down in the dumps and struggling to deal with it."

He said he did not know why she was at the Carribean Club as she had no friends staying there.
Daniella Clarke, who has been Miss Taylor's best friend for 25 years, said: "At least now Shakara can rest in peace.
