- By AMY WALKER

A HEARTBROKEN mother whose daughter passed away aged 20 wants to raise awareness of the dangers of laughing gas.

Amy Louise Leonard, from Bolton, had been out with friends when she fell ill and had to be rushed to hospital. There she admitted to her mum that she had been taking nitrous oxide.

Sadly, on Tuesday last week, Amy passed away surrounded by her friends and family after doctors found a blood clot on her heart and lungs. Police are now investigating her death, her family say.

Her mum, Catrina Proctor, is now desperate to raise awareness of the drug, to help save other families from going through the same heartbreak.

She said: “She had been staying at a hotel and was going out with some friends. The next thing I spoke to my eldest daughter who said Amy Lou was in hospital.
