Candice's photo was used on a health website,
Daily Records, showing another woman and
fellow Crohns’ sufferer who had died from the
disease, immediately she was flooded with
calls from concerned family and friends
including her own father – after the story of her
'death' was shared across social media.
Candice speaking to the Sun UK on Thursday said:
“When I woke up last Tuesday to my dad
calling me and lots of missed calls, I knew
something wasn’t right. He was in a right
panic as he’d seen the post on Facebook
and presumed something had happened
in the night. I was in complete shock, my
first thought was, ‘why would someone
writea story about me being dead?'

I was in fact alive. Thankfully I’m alive and
I could shock those who thought I was dead
with the best possible response, ‘I’m alive

“I wanted to raise awareness and I suppose
that even a story like this does that as it’s
making people talk and understand the
seriousness of the disease. I really have
no idea how it happened, someone posted
it in a Crohn’s group called IBD
Superheroes and before I knew it I had so
many inbox messages that I couldn’t even
read them all and reply quick enough.
Because I’m really active in the online
Crohn’s community it was shared so many
times and read by thousands across the
country.”

“When I took the youngest ones to school
last week all the mum’s at the school gates
were shocked to see I was actually alive.
Even my local chemist who I have been
going to for years for my medication
thought I had died.”
