TRAGIC Josephine Razzell died on Christmas Day while sleeping rough in the stairwell of High Wycombe's Easton Street car park.

Josephine, 47, who lived in a nearby homeless hostel, was believed by her grieving family to have taken an overdose of methadone.

The mother-of-six had gone to the car park to be with her fiance who was unable to find shelter at Christmas.

She died just a year after the death of her childhood sweetheart who was killed by cancer.
