THE family of Millom teenager who died in hospital after attending Kendal Calling have paid tribute to a "fun, fun guy".

Christian Pay, 18, died at Cumberland Infirmary on Friday. Police believe he may have taken a substance at the music festival.

Christian's mum Debbie Pay, said: "Christian was small in stature but had the heart of a lion and enough personality for everyone. He was just a fun, fun guy and such a nice person - he hated seeing anyone being picked on.

"He was studying motor vehicle maintenance at Furness College which he loved.

"He leaves behind an older brother Adam and older sister Chloe, who are both devastated. He was loved by all and will be missed by everyone."

Four people remain at Cumberland Hospital following believed substance abuse at the festival:

· A 20-year-old woman from Lancaster is in a serious but stable condition.

· A 19-year-old male from Millom is in a serious but stable condition.

· A 29-year-old woman from Bolton is in a serious but stable condition.

· A 29-year-old man from Manchester is in a serious but stable condition.

Four people have so far been arrested and bailed in connection with the incident but the criminal investigation is ongoing.

Superintendent Justin Bibby said: “Our thoughts remain at this time with the family and friends of Christian Pay. 

“Christian’s death, along with the number of people admitted to hospital, underlines the dangers of taking drugs.

"Our advice will always remain that you should not take any drug as you cannot be sure what it contains and the effect it will have on you.

“The criminal investigation into the circumstances surrounding Christian’s death is ongoing and I would appeal for anyone with any information to get in touch with police.

“Kendal Calling is a privately organised festival which saw approximately 25,000 people attend. The majority of them enjoyed the event safely."
