'Broken' family of David Celino, 16, who died at Leeds Festival pay tribute to 'beautiful' teen

A teenager who died in a suspected drugs-related incident at Leeds Festival had just received "fabulous" GCSE results, his family has said. In a statement, they have paid tribute to 16-year-old David Celino, who has been named by police this afternoon.

They said he died at what was the "highlight of his summer" as they said they were "broken". David died in the early hours of Sunday morning.

He had been taken to hospital the night before having fallen ill at the festival. West Yorkshire Police, which is investigating, said it was believed to be related to drugs, particularly a type of MDMA that was circulating at the event, reports LeedsLive.
