Neilson’s cause of death has been revealed as a cerebrovascular accident, or stroke, according to coroner reports from the Westminster Coroner’s Court. The mysteriously active Instagram account even led close friends of Neilson to believe her death had been a hoax, according to Page Six, which also reports that a family member scrubbed the socialite’s feed of negative-seeming photographs and captions on Saturday. Strangely, it was reported by the Daily Mail that Neilson was found dead in her home on Thursday, July 12, but her Instagram showed a new photograph posted posthumously on Saturday, July 14. Neilson was also distantly related to the royal family-her paternal grandmother was the Queen Mother’s second cousin. The final photo of Neilson was taken on July 7, just days before her death, and it showed the model having fun with Kate Moss at Blenheim Palace, where Neilson’s ex-boyfriend Lord Edward Spencer-Churchill, son of the Duke of Marlborough, married Kimberly Hammerstroem, a German photographer. Neilson was also romantically involved for a time with Jefferson Hack, the magazine editor and father of Kate Moss’s daughter, Lila.
