A BRITISH woman was shot dead during an “incident” at her dad’s house in America, an inquest heard.
Lucy Harrison, 23, was discovered at the property in Texas on January 10.
Cheshire Police today confirmed the horror came following an “incident” at her father’s home.
An inquest opened into Lucy’s death today heard she was “on holiday in the USA when she was fatally shot with a firearm”.
No other details were released and another hearing will take place at Warrington Coroner’s Court on March 28.
It is understood Lucy had travelled to the US with her boyfriend just after Christmas for a family holiday.
He paid tribute to her in a heartbreaking joint statement with Lucy’s mum.
They said: “Lucy was life. She lived it fiercely and fearlessly, not being afraid to feel all that life has to offer.
“Lucy unashamedly loved – she had a huge capacity to love and be loved.
“She was the embodiment of wonderful contradictions – she adored travel and being away, experiencing new places and cultures, yet at the same time, she loved nothing more than snuggling up in her pyjamas with her candles on at home.
“She could be dramatic and elaborate situations like it was the end of the world, yet she could also be straight talking and not afraid to have bold conversations.
“She was truly thriving in life and although this gives us great comfort, we are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful, gorgeous Luce.”
Lucy’s funeral will be held at St Elphin’s Parish Church at 12.30pm on February 24.
It is believed Lucy studied at Manchester Metropolitan University.
