Heartbreak as 'selfless, beautiful' 16-year-old dies 'after contracting Strep A'

A teenager who died 'after contracting Strep A' has been described as 'the most selflessly beautiful person' by her heartbroken family, who say they are still waiting for answers surrounding her death.

Amy Gadomski who died on Thursday January 5, was said to 'always be smiling, always happy and always there for anyone who needed help.' The 16-year-old, from Gosforth, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was studying for her GCSEs at Sacred heart High School and was a Newcastle United season ticket holder.

Amy had a cardiac arrest on Wednesday January 4 and was airlifted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. She was later transferred to the Freeman Hospital where she sadly died the following day.
