British woman, 23, dies after ‘incident at dad’s house’ in US

Tributes have been paid to a 23-year-old woman from Warrington who died while visiting her father’s home in America.

Lucy Harrison died on Friday 10 January following an incident in Prosper, Texas.

An inquest into the circumstances surrounding her death was opened at Warrington Coroners court on Wednesday 12 February.

Following the hearing, Lucy’s family said: ‘Lucy was life. she lived it fiercely and fearlessly, not being afraid to feel all that life has to offer. Lucy unashamedly loved – she had a huge capacity to love and be loved.

‘She was the embodiment of wonderful contradictions; she adored travel and being away, experiencing new places and cultures, yet at the same time, she loved nothing more than snuggling up in her pyjamas with her candles on at home.

‘She could be dramatic and elaborate situations like it was the end of the world, yet she could also be straight talking and not afraid to have bold conversations. She was truly thriving in life and although this gives us great comfort, we are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful, gorgeous Luce.’

The inquest was adjourned until Friday 28 March 2024. Her family have requested privacy while dealing with their grief.
