A heartbroken mum has said 'life will never be the same again' as she paid tribute to her daughter who died in a swimming tragedy.
Kirsty Madden said her daughter Erin, 15, was "capable of anything" and had her "whole life ahead of her" in an emotional tribute. As reported by the Liverpool Echo, 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 on Thursday, June 1.
In a comment on the council's page, Kirsty 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.
