Mike Thalbaditis, a stunning model who was a close friend, gave him a heartbreaking tribute thanking him for helping him through a difficult time.

The photos were taken just a week before his tragic death at the age of 26.

After information suggesting that she was secretly dating Mike, Ellie stated that they were just close friends, but thanked him for helping him through a difficult time in his life.

She said, "Mike was not my boyfriend, he was a man who came close to me and helped me through a difficult time in my life.

"He was a dear friend to me, as he was to many other people who wrote about him.I can not believe that he left. many of us in shock. "

Ellie revealed that she had talked to Mike the day before the discovery of her body, while they were discussing the restaurant that he was opening in Esbad County with his business partner.

Ellie, who has already attended Stephen Bear, paid tribute to Mike in a heartbreaking post.

She wrote, "I can not believe I write this, I feel sick.

"I hope it's a nightmare and that I could wake up, I can not believe you're gone, that does not sound real, you've literally sent me a SMS, yesterday, to illustrate the color of the paintings in your new paintings It was your last message for me I did not know it would be the last time I heard about you You were the sweetest soul you were so funny, you had so much to live.

"I never forget the last days I spent with you, I'm happy to hear you laugh and see you smile before leaving this world.
These photos and this video were literally taken last week, I can not believe we were laughing and joking then we were eating a pizza and now you are not even there anymore. It does not seem real to me, I'm numb and feel sick.

"Mike, he will never forget you, I never forget how pbadionate you are for your new restaurant, and you never forget to tell me about your trip to Thailand, telling me that was the best experience of your life, without any plan I'm traveling, you're just living your best life, do you ever think, once the restaurant is operational, you'll book a one-way ticket and go live your best life.

"I know I did not spend a lot of time with you, but I can not believe it happened and I wish I could help you save you, it will haunt me all my life. do not think I'll ever be able to cope with it.

"RIP Mike, my heart goes to your family and friends."
