A devastated mum paid tribute to her daughter who died in a swimming tragedy.
Kirsty Madden said her 15-year-old daughter Erin was "capable of anything" and had her "whole life ahead of her" before her death in an emotional tribute posted online today. The mum shared her heartache on the St Helens Borough Council Facebook page, after the local authority warned people of the dangers of swimming in open water following Erin's death at Carr Mill Dam yesterday.
In a comment on the council's page, she said: "This dam needs draining my daughter lost her life in there yesterday. How many more times does this need to keep happening to children until something is done.
