Tributes paid to 16-year-old after station death

The family of a 16-year-old have paid tribute to their "bright, beautiful" girl after she died.

British Transport Police (BTP) officers and paramedics were called to Loughton Underground station, Essex, following reports of a casualty on the tracks.

Daisy House died in hospital and her family said: "Our beautiful daughter Daisy lost her life. She was a bright, beautiful, clever, and funny girl who had just started sixth form and had her whole future ahead of her."

They also thanked the emergency services who tried to save her following the incident at about 14:30 GMT on Monday.

The statement continued: "We thank everyone who has sent best wishes, kind messages, and floral tributes.

"We would now ask for our privacy to be respected while we come to terms with the loss of our Daisy and what life will be like without our daughter."
