THE family of a 15-year-old girl who died on a railway track has paid their respects.
Roxy Phillips was killed in the early hours of Thursday morning after the horror in Weymouth, Dorset.
Tragically, the teen is thought to have been electrocuted on a 750-volt live railway line.
Roxy’s family has now paid their respects while issuing a heartbreaking warning to others.
They said: “As a family we are devastated for the loss of our daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter and cousin, Roxy Phillips. Roxy was a strong willed young woman, an animal lover who loved horses especially her own horse Bradley.
“Roxy was loved and adored by her friends, we as a family have felt this love through the tributes and kind messages we have received.
“We would like to raise awareness of the dangers of the railway tracks, unknown to most that the 3rd rail is live 24 hours a day all year round.
“This was a tragic accident that we as a family will never be able to overcome.
“We will always love and miss you, our beautiful Roxy.”
British Transport Police have launched an investigation into the schoolgirl’s “unexplained” death.
