Family pay tribute to 16-year-old girl who died after incident at Loughton station

The family of 16-year-old Daisy House have paid tribute to her after her death earlier this week.

Emergency services were called to Loughton Underground station shortly after 2.30pm on Monday 15 December following reports of a person on the tracks. Paramedics also attended the scene, but despite their efforts Daisy later died in hospital.

In a statement, Daisy’s family described her as a much-loved daughter with her whole life ahead of her.

They said:

“On Monday, 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. We would like to thank all of the emergency services and doctors who worked so hard to save her, especially the British Transport Police officer and paediatric nurses who treated us all with such kindness.”

The family also expressed gratitude for the public support they have received since her death.

They added:

“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.”

A photograph of Daisy has been released by her family, who have reiterated their request for privacy as they begin to grieve their tragic loss.
