A devastated Southport family have paid a heart-breaking tribute to their ‘one-in-a-million’ son following his tragic death at the weekend.
Police were called by NWAS around 9.40pm on Saturday to a report a boy had entered the water and got into difficulty at Dawber Delph, Appley Bridge.
Emergency services attended the scene and following a search the body of a 16-year-old boy was recovered from the water. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
He was later identified as 16-year-old Jamie Lewin from Southport.
In a tribute his mother Steph Lewin said: “Jamie was a promising boxer who loved life and had so much to look forward to.
"He was so loved by everyone. He touched so many peoples’ lives in such a short time, he really did spread himself far. He really was one in a million. I'm so happy I was his mum.
"He was only 16 and so full of life and so happy.”
The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be passed to the coroner in due course.
Our thoughts remain with Jamie’s family at this time.
