Tribute paid to “beautiful, loved boy” from Southampton
The family of 14-year-old Leo Gurr, who died in Southampton on Sunday 21 June, have paid an emotional tribute to their “beautiful, loved boy.”
Emergency services were called at 12.29pm on Sunday 21 June after South Central Ambulance Service requested police assistance. Leo had been found collapsed in an alleyway at Binstead Close by members of the public.
Despite the efforts of paramedics and the air ambulance crew, Leo sadly died.
A file is now being prepared for the coroner, who will investigate the circumstances surrounding his death and establish the cause.
Paying tribute, Leo’s family said:
“Leo was a larger-than-life character, absolutely wild, always laughing uncontrollably over the smallest of things. Leo was the eldest of three brothers, he made us parents and we grew together. The gap already left without Leo’s presence is huge.
“Leo’s love for motorbikes and pushbikes was evident, and we hope he’s riding that back wheel wherever he may be. No more tracking his location, no more phone calls to send money.
“Leo we are all broken without you, life will never be the same. Thank you for blessing us with 14 beautiful years of you. You were and always will be so loved by all your family and friends. You read about tragedies like this but never expect it to happen to you.
“To see all the love pouring through from friends in every area inside and outside the city is so comforting. Beautiful, loved boy.
“Thank you to our neighbours who did everything they could to help Leo, South Central Ambulance Service and the air ambulance crew who worked relentlessly in the heat. Rest peacefully our boy xx.”
