Family's 'void' after fall death

Rosimeiri Boxall

The family of a woman who died after falling from the third floor window of a flat have spoken of a "void that cannot be filled" following her death.

Rosimeiri Boxall, 19, was found with serious injuries beneath an open window in Blackheath, south-east London, on Saturday.

Two girls, aged 13 and 17, were arrested and later released on bail.

A police spokesman said the death was being treated as suspicious but "was not a murder inquiry".

It is understood Ms Boxall had recently had little contact with her family.

She was adopted by Simon Boxall, vicar at Open Gateway Community Church in Thamesmead, south-east London, and his wife Rachel.

A family statement said: "The loss of Rosimeiri, a much loved sister and daughter, has left a void in this close-knit family that cannot be filled.

“Rosi was adopted but she was our daughter and sister.

"She was a loving, caring person who brought frequently-remembered times of fun and laughter to the family and who was much loved by her three nieces.

“More than just a daughter and sister, she was also a great friend who will always be missed."

The two arrested teenagers have been bailed to return to a police station in June, pending further inquiries.
