One of three teenagers who died in a crush outside a St Patrick’s Day disco in Northern Ireland has been described as a “beautiful soul” by her cheerleading team.
Euphoria Allstar Cheerleading NI said 17-year-old Lauren Bullock was “down to earth” and the “backbone” of the group.
Two boys aged 16 and 17 also died outside the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, on Sunday evening.
The cheerleading team said: “Euphoria are absolutely devastated to say we lost one of our senior athletes Lauren Bullock in the tragedy in Cookstown last night.
“My heart is broken writing this. You were the most down to earth, beautiful soul and our Coral team will never be the same without you.”
Police said people struggled to get off the ground and there was confusion after several hundred people tried to get into the venue between 9pm and 10pm.
A 16-year-old girl is in a stable condition in hospital and two more teenagers were treated for injuries.
