Tributes have flooded in for a teenager who died a week before his birthday.
Ryan Ellis was described as a "smiling" and "happy" by his aunt, Joanne Ellis. The 18-year-old was born with brain damage before being diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
This caused the teenager to suffer as many as 100 seizures epileptic a day. Ryan's seizures would often be "big ones" his family said, which would require him to be moved and take days for him to fully recover.
