A source said he was outside the night before and “seemed absolutely good”.
The alarm was increased after he did not show up for work at the Warren Greatrex Stables in Lambourn, Berkshire.
Trainer Warren said it was “extremely disturbing” to add Billy, originally from the northeast: “He was a great member of the team with a great sense of humor.”
Colleague Jockey Jack Wilmot wrote: “Billy, words can’t describe how I feel. I am absolutely deeply sad, I will love you forever and I will always carry you with me what I do.
“Please, please, if you struggle with something, please talk to someone.
‘I love your size. Far too quickly disappeared. ”
It is understood that Billy worked before Greatrex for about three years to train the horses.
It is then the third recent death afterwards Michael Pitt19, in July 2021, and David Thompson25, in February 2022.
A Gofundme Account was set up for Billy by family member James Moffatt.

You are not the only one
Every 90 minutes in the UK, a life is lost on suicide

It is the biggest murderer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car accident.
And men are three times more likely to take their own lives than women.
Yet there is rarely talk about it, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly disaster, unless we all stop now and notice.
That is why The Sun launched the You Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, increasing the consciousness and breaking through the barriers with which people are confronted when we talk about their mental health, we can all do to save lives.
Let’s all promise to ask for help when we need it, and listen to others … You are not the only one.
