Keely’s teachers referred to her as a “exceptional student” who loved school, while her parents commended her for having a “beautiful smile” that lit up the space. Sian Morgan, Keely’s mother, and Liam Coulthard, her stepfather, issued a joint statement saying, “As a family, we are just devastated at the sudden loss of Keely.” Our hearts have been broken.

“Nobody ever said anything bad about her since she was intelligent and polite. She had impacted so many lives in such a brief period of time here, and she had so many ambitions that have now been cruelly abandoned. The family thanked those who attempted to help at the scene and said they were “overwhelmed” by the generosity and support shown to them.
