His teachers have described him as a "much-loved member" of the college.

The Principal of St. Mary’s College Mike Kennedy said: "The news of Euan’s death has come as a terrible shock to us all and our thoughts and prayers are with Euan’s family and friends including his sister, Megan, who is a pupil in year 9 at our school.

"Euan was a really lovely boy and a much-loved member of our school with so much to look forward to in his life.

"To pass away at such a young age is truly tragic, and his sad loss will be felt throughout the whole St. Mary’s community."
