Boy who died while swimming in quarry was 'one of a kind', says heartbroken family

The parents of a teenager who died while swimming in a quarry have paid tribute to their "loveable" son who was "one of a kind".

Jamie Lewin, 16, was with his uncle at East Quarry near Wigan, Lancashire when he got into difficulties in the water during the start of the heatwave on July 9.

Police recovered his body later that day, making it three young people who have lost their lives there after the deaths of two teenagers in 2015 and 1999.
