The mother of teenager Leah Heyes, who died after collapsing in Northallerton at the weekend, has paid tribute to her daughter.
Kerry Roberts described 15-year-old Leah as her “best friend”.
She added: “She was a thoughtful, beautiful girl, who was much loved.
“She was fun, bubbly, and had a great sense of humour.
“I’m absolutely heartbroken to have lost my beautiful girl. No words can describe how much she will be missed and the enormous gap she has left in our lives.
“She will be truly missed more than words can say. I love you always.”
Leah died in hospital after collapsing in the Applegarth car park in Northallerton on Saturday night.
Police say she had taken MDMA, also known as ecstasy, before her death.
Detectives today thanked people for coming forward with information on the tragedy, but said there were more people they needed to speak to.
They also appealed for mobile phone footage taken on the night.
