The family of a teenage girl who died after a horrific incident at a London tube station has paid tribute to their ‘bright, beautiful, clever and funny’ daughter.

British Transport Police were called to Loughton Underground Station in Essex following reports of a ‘casualty on the tracks’ at 2.30pm on December 15.

Despite the best efforts of emergency services, Daisy House, 16, passed away that same day in hospital.

Transport for London suspended travel between Epping and Woodford whilst police and paramedics secured the scene on Monday.

The incident is not being treated as suspicious but the British Transport Police are now preparing a file for the coroner ahead of an inquest.

In a statement released today, Daisy was described as a ‘bright, beautiful, clever and funny girl’ who had ‘her whole future ahead of her.

Accompanying an image of the 16-year-old, her devastated family wrote: ‘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.

‘We thank everyone who has sent best wishes, kind messages, and floral tributes.’

The family ended their statement by asking for their privacy to be respected ‘while we come to terms with the loss of our Daisy and what life will be like without our daughter.’

It comes just months after another person was pronounced dead following a ‘medical emergency’ at Loughton tube station on February 24.

The passenger is believed to have taken ill at around 6.50am before the British Transport Police were called at 7.30am.

The station on the Central line was closed for four hours causing delays between Leytonstone and Epping.

Sadly, the person was pronounced dead at the scene.

The British Transport Police confirmed they were not treating the death as suspicious.
