The family of a 16-year-old girl are in mourning after she tragically died following an incident at a London Underground station this week.
Emergency Response at Loughton Station
British Transport Police officers were called to Loughton Underground station at approximately 2:30pm on Monday afternoon. The emergency call reported a casualty on the railway tracks at the Central line station in Essex, which lies within the London fare zone.
The teenager, identified as Daisy House, was treated at the scene by emergency services before being rushed to hospital. Despite the best efforts of medical teams, she sadly passed away from her injuries.
Family's Heartbreaking Tribute
In an emotional statement released this morning, Daisy's devastated family remembered their beloved daughter. They described Daisy as a 'bright, beautiful, clever, and funny girl' who had recently begun Sixth Form and had her entire future ahead of her.
The family expressed their profound gratitude to the emergency services who fought to save her life. They specifically thanked the British Transport Police officer and paediatric nurses who provided care and showed immense kindness to them during the traumatic ordeal.
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.'
Ongoing Investigation and Community Impact
While the circumstances surrounding the incident are not yet fully clear, British Transport Police are expected to conduct a thorough investigation. Such tragedies send shockwaves through local communities, particularly when they involve a young person with so much potential.
Loughton station, a key transport link for commuters into central London, was likely disrupted during the emergency response. The loss of a young life in such a public and sudden manner highlights the profound dangers associated with railway infrastructure.
The family's request for privacy will be respected as they navigate this unimaginably difficult time, grieving for a daughter whose life was cut devastatingly short.
