Darci Rose Gibson (also referred to as Darci Hagan)

Darci Rose Gibson, known publicly as Darci Hagan, was the teenage sister of former Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan. She was not a public figure in her own right, and little about her life, education or interests has been widely reported. She became known to the public only after her death, when Holly Hagan began speaking openly about losing her.

<cite index="3-1">Holly Hagan says her family made a selfish decision following the death of her younger sister Darci, who died in October following an accidental drug overdose.</cite> She was <cite index="2-1">nineteen years old</cite> at the time of her death in 2025. The original reports describing the death also referred to it as an accidental overdose of crystal MDMA, though the exact date and location have not been confirmed in follow up coverage.

<cite index="3-1">The family decided to donate Darci's heart to a stranger for her life to mean something.</cite> Her heart was transplanted and went on to help save another person's life, a detail that turned a private family tragedy into a wider story about grief, addiction and organ donation.

<cite index="1-2,1-3">Holly Hagan has shared a heartbreaking tribute to mark the one year anniversary of her teen sister's death</cite>, posting it on 20 October 2026. In the tribute she recalled personal moments from the days around Darci's death, including choosing pyjamas for her to wear after the donation and a tattoo that read 'everything happens for a reason.'

Much about Darci's own life before her death, including where she lived, her schooling, and her personal interests, has not been made public. Coverage so far has centred on the circumstances and aftermath of her death rather than a full biography, and this page will be updated as more verified information becomes available.
