THE family of a schoolboy who lost his life at Leeds Festival have paid a heart-breaking tribute to their "beautiful" and "warm" son.
David Celino, 16, died in the early hours of Sunday morning after being rushed to hospital from the festival the night before.
West Yorkshire Police are investigating David's death and said on Sunday it is suspected to be related to drugs, particularly a type of MDMA which was being circulated at the festival.
David's family said they are "broken" after the teen tragically passed away at the weekend.
A spokesperson for the family said: "Our David was a beautiful, fiercely independent and warm character who lived every day at 110% and who loved to spend time enjoying music with his friends.
"He had just received fabulous GCSE results, got into college and had hoped to study computer science at a top university.

"Leeds Festival was the highlight of his summer; ultimately it was to take his life in the most unfair, cruel and horrible way, and we are broken."
West Yorkshire Police say enquiries into David's death are ongoing and the force is continuing to support his family.
On Sunday, Assistant Chief Constable Catherine Hankinson of West Yorkshire Police, said: "Our thoughts are with the family of the boy who has died, and we have officers supporting them at this very difficult time.
“While the exact cause of his death is yet to be established, one line of enquiry is that he had taken a particular type of ecstasy (MDMA) tablet, which was described as a grey or black oblong shape.
