The family of a teenager who is believed to have died after falling ill after taking drugs at Leeds Festival have paid tribute to the 16-year-old.

David Celino, from Worsley, Salford, tragically passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning, August 28. He had been taken to hospital from Branham Park, where the hit music festival was being held this weekend, on Saturday night after falling ill at the festival and appearing at the medical tent.

Now, David's family have paid tribute to the "beautiful" teenager, saying his death has left them "broken". A statement released on their behalf by West Yorkshire Police (WYP) said: "Our David was a beautiful, fiercely independent and warm character who lived every day at 110% and who loved to spend time enjoying music with his friends.

Leeds Festival was the highlight of his summer; ultimately it was to take his life in the most unfair, cruel and horrible way, and we are broken." Police believe the 16-year-old was taken ill after taking a particular type of ecstasy, described as a grey or black oblong tablet, although the exact cause of his death has not yet been established to confirm or deny this line of enquiry.
