The tragic news of Gemma Wiseman's death at the age of 33 has shocked the nation. A Team GB footballer and devoted mother of three, Gemma was remembered for bringing 'laughter and energy' wherever she went. Gemma was born on January 28, 1990, in Plymouth, Devon, and was a teaching assistant in addition to her football career.
Gemma was discovered on December 16 in a woodland in Rackheath, near Norwich. She had won multiple awards for England and Team GB, including a bronze medal in the Deaf World Cup in Italy with her wife, Laura Wiseman, and at the 2013 Deaflympics in Bulgaria.
In response to her passing, a GoFundMe has been set up to help raise money for funeral costs. At the time of writing, more than £7,600 has been raised. The fundraiser page also included a touching tribute to Gemma's memory: “Gemma was a kind and caring person with a great sense of humour. Everywhere she went she brought laughter and energy with her and easily made friends with anyone who was lucky enough to meet her. Gemma leaves behind her devoted wife, Laura, and three-year-old daughter who are at a complete loss without her.”
The inquest into her death was opened yesterday at Norfolk Coroner’s Court at County Hall. The court heard that the medical cause of Gemma’s death was ‘constriction of neck structures’. The inquest to determine the cause of death will take place on July 29.
