Heartbreak over 'fantastic' young mum, 21, who 'was always full of life'

A young mum of two found dead at her home was "full of life" and had a "heart of gold", her devastated family said today.

Tributes have been paid to hugely popular Megan Morrey, 21, who died at her home in Norris Green in August.

The former Holly Lodge Girls' School pupil was remembered for her "loving" nature and described as a "fantastic mum."

Today her own mum, speaking on behalf of the family, told the ECHO : "Megan was full of life, always adventurous, a karaoke queen, singing and joking, extremely sentimental.

"She was so loving, who would do anything for anybody.

"Megan was a fantastic mum who idolised her two children and had so many friends.

"Hundreds attended her funeral wearing personalised T-shirts, people were so shocked.

"It's just tragic, you just don't know what is going on in someone's mind."

The 21-year-old had returned home on August 7, after seeing her ex-partner, and spent time on Face Time and WhatsApp before sending a message to him that indicated she was upset.

Her mum and sister attended her home as they couldn't get in contact with her, and found she had sadly died.

Today, at Megan's inquest in Kirkdale, a conclusion of suicide was made by Assistant Coroner David Lewis.

Megan, who previously lived in Tuebrook, leaves two young children.

The family's tribute added: "Megan was very loving, even her primary and senior school teachers came to the funeral.

"The funeral director at Anfield Crematorium said it was the biggest funeral he'd ever seen, with hundreds lining the streets.

"Megan had a heart of gold."

"I hope you've got a treasure chest of memories [about her.]"
