A grieving family has paid tribute to their “simply irreplaceable” teenager with "a heart full of gold" who died in a reservoir this week.

Tyrese Johnson, 16, had finished school for the summer when the tragedy happened.

The teenager got into difficulties at Lodge Farm Reservoir in Netherton, Dudley, on Tuesday evening

His body was recovered from the water the next day by police divers.

Emergency teams raced to the reservoir in the West Midlands, but were unable to find the youngster.

A major search was launched involving police divers and a helicopter and his body was recovered the next day by an underwater team.

In a statement, his devastated family said: "Tyrese, words can't describe what you meant to us as a family, your loving devoted mom, your brother, dad, your niece and nephew.

"You were a kind loving young man with a heart full of gold. Your warm, gentle, kind hearted soul, simply irreplaceable."

Dozens of tributes and flowers were left near the site including one heartbreaking message saying: "RIP Tyrese. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I tried as hard as I could."

Another read: "Tyrese, so sorry to hear of this tragic accident, may God bless and keep you in his care."The tragedy unfolded just two days into the school holidays on a sunny day where temperatures hit 24C (75F).

Police are warning youngsters about the dangers about open water swimming.

Chief Superintendent Anthony Tagg said: "Our deepest sympathies remain with Tyrese's family and friends.

"The shock of his death has devastated the whole community and we share that grief.

moments before her execution.

Amanda, moments before her execution, whispers words that stun witnesses and unravel lies. Amanda, a loving mother, had been wrongly accused of kidnapping and murdering Judge Samuel Turner's daughter, Olivia. The trial had been swift and brutal, with public sentiment against her, and her protests of innocence had fallen on deaf ears. One rainy afternoon, Amanda is visited by Judge Turner himself, who delivers a bitter tirade. However, Amanda remains silent, and during his speech, a memory resurfaces, giving her a sudden clarity. She remembers a detail from the day of the crime that she had overlooked, a mention of Turner's grandparents' farm.

Two boys in this photograph from the early 1900s, taken by Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital in Leicester

Two boys in this photograph from the early 1900s, taken by Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital in Leicester, UK, had been exposed to the same source of smallpox. One of them had received the smallpox vaccine, while the other had not. Dr. Warner captured these images as part of his study on the disease. The smallpox vaccine holds historical significance as the first vaccine developed to combat a contagious disease. In 1796, British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the milder cowpox virus could provide immunity against the deadly smallpox virus. Cowpox acted as a natural vaccine until the modern smallpox vaccine became available in the 20th century. From 1958 to 1977, the World Health Organization led a global vaccination campaign that successfully eradicated smallpox, marking it as the only human disease to be completely eliminated.
