THE parents of a teenager who collapsed and died at a Liverpool City Centre restaurant have paid tribute to "a much-loved son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend." 

Euan McNamara, 15, passed away after collapsing at Brown's restaurant in Liverpool ONE on Saturday, October 22.

At around 5.50pm emergency services were at the scene where it was reported that Euan had collapsed while out with family and friends.

He was taken to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital but died a short time later.

A joint statement from Euan's parents Michael and Sian McNamara read: "On Saturday teatime, after an afternoon’s shopping, we were at Browns restaurant in Liverpool as a family with our son Euan, daughter Megan and close friends when Euan unexpectedly collapsed.

"Despite immediate medical intervention by off-duty medics, Euan later sadly passed away in hospital.

"Euan was a much-loved son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend. He was studying for his GCSE exams, a keen rugby player, cricket player and LFC Supporter, regularly attending games with family and friends.

"Euan was loved and adored by all who knew him and his death has left a massive void in all of our lives.

"He was a handsome, loving, caring boy with an infectious personality that touched everyone he met.

"We are devastated by what has happened, and hope that in the forthcoming days we will find out why Euan has been cruelly taken away from us.

"We as a family please request that our privacy is respected at this time."
