New BBC Three series - Gaia: A Death On Dancing Ledge explores her disappearance Teenager Gaia Pope-Sutherland was found dead at Dancing Ledge in Dorset on November 7, 2017, after suffering a mental health breakdown. The 19-year-old had gone missing from her home in Swanage 11 days earlier and according to her twin sister Maya, she was convinced that a man who had allegedly raped her was 'after her'.

Gaia's naked body was found in the undergrowth surrounding the Dorset cliff edge, with her clothing scattered across a field. An inquest later found she had died from hypothermia within 18 hours of first running away. It is believed that her body might have been tricked into thinking it was too warm, so she removed her clothing as she walked. At her inquest last year, Maya Pope-Sutherland told the hearing her sister lived in fear. She said: "I just know she was absolutely terrified to go out in Swanage, and she had shown me messages from the perpetrator saying he knew people in Swanage threatening to kill the family and she just became so terrified to leave the house. "She was crying and saying she was very scared, and she thought the perpetrator was after her. At other times she was mentioning pregnancy." In one clip during the documentary, a text message is shown reading: "Just wanna say you look amazing x" while people who knew the teen said about the man, "There was one boy, he had messaged her."
