Sophie Gradon’s parents and the iPhone unlocking

Model and Love Island star, Sophie Gradon died last June. Her people found her dead at her parents’ home. They are waiting for the inquest but the police were unable to unlock and check her two iPhones and hence delayed the inquest.

Now her parents decided to pay money and get a software engineer to unlock them. They are spending £5,000 to get the software experts to do the job.

The parents are desperate to know the cause of her death. They are searching for answers but were unable to get them since the investigation into Sophie’s death was delayed due to the inability to know the contents of her iPhones.

Sophie had locked her iPhone and the police could not open it. In February 2019, Sophie’s mother, Deborah Gradon tweeted:

“As the heartbroken Mother of Sophie Gradon we are still waiting for an inquest date 8 months after her unexplained death. Why? Because the Police cannot open her iPhone for data extraction.”

Deborah Gradon and the London software company

Responding to a fan’s query on how to unlock an iPhone, Sophie’s mother wrote:

“Sorry, I’ve only just seen you’re message. It’s virtually impossible to unlock an iPhone with a 6 digit pin. Yes you can take it any phone shop & they can unlock it but it’s restarted to factory settings & you lose all data,”

She said that the phones were with a London private software company and they were going to unlock them without losing the date on the phone.

She gave more details:

“There’s a company in London called Cellubrite, this is where Sophie’s 2 phones are,”
“They claim to be the only Co in the world with the software to open iPhones. The charge is £2500 per device. They are connected to a software program that tries every combination.”

The coroner’s statement

The Senior Coroner for Northumberland South, Eric Armstrong said:

“Please be advised that a new hearing date for the Inquest dealing with Sophie’s death has been arranged. Mr and Mrs Gradon have requested that the Inquest take place in their absence, and the Inquest has now been fixed for Thursday 18th April at 10.30am at Howard House.”
