A TRAGIC mum who was forced to watch when her eight-year-old boy died in a house fire has taken her own life two weeks later.
Kelly-Anne Carter, 35, had been found outside her home with serious burns and was rushed to hospital with son Lucas.
However despite medics’ attempts to revive him, the eight-year-old lost his life.
And two weeks on from the tragedy, Kelly-Anne was found dead at her partner Andy's home.
On Saturday night her sister Gemma Carter took to Facebook to confirm that Kelly-Anne has taken her own life.
