Her mum Carol told the inquest: "Apparently on Love Island they did a marshmallow challenge, you put marshmallows in the mouth. Mia Austin, from Bebington , suffered from ‘Locked-in Syndrome’ - meaning she couldn't move or speak and could only communicate by using a special computer which tracked her eye movements. Mia Louise Austin inspired thousands of people after suffering a stroke which left her unable to move or speak.Mia Austin, 30, had seen Love Island contestants challenge each other to fit as many marshmallows in their mouths as possible. Austin’s ability to consistently kick crucial goals for the Blues has seen her gain attention from the league’s leading defenders, a challenge that the young gun has been excited to face.

I just wanted to go back and have fun and enjoy footy, because I feel like that’s when I play my best”. After suffering a stroke at 21 leaving her with Locked-in Syndrome, Mia wrote a book, travelled, and inspired everyone who was lucky enough to meet her. Since her diagnosis the travel industry charity Abta LifeLine was involved in helping to support Mia through fundraising for a specially-adapted car. She later had one placed in her mouth, but choked on the sweet and became unconscious and died at the scene, despite the efforts of those with her in the chalet, park staff and paramedics.She would also want to make sure the platform that being Merseyside Woman of the Year provides would be used to do good things in our region, which is why we are delighted to pass on that mantle to Laura Hughes.

Her friend Ben, posted a statement on her Mountains for Mia page: "Unfortunately on Wednesday, Mia lost her life, in the place she loved the most, Abersoch. While Mia can see, hear, and think as normal, she cannot move from the neck down and has to be fed through a tube.

Later when Charlie confronted Roman about the ‘date’, he said it was just a business meeing and he wasn’t interested in Mia.Mia has taught us how to deal with adversity, to give generously to those in need, to inspire people to be the best versions of themselves, not to take tomorrow for granted, to live life to the full, but most importantly, how to be a nice person.
