TRIBUTES have been flooding in for a Bradford teenager who tragically lost his life.

Sami Ahmed, a Year 10 pupil at Dixons City Academy, off Manchester Road, suffered a head injury after falling from a "significant height" while on a hike in the Lake District on Sunday.

The school described 15-year-old Sami as a "fantastic young man" and an "excellent sportsman".

He is said to have fallen 30 to 40 metres from Intermediate Gulley on Dow Crag.

A Cumbria Police spokesman said the death was not being treated as suspicious.

The T&A opened a book of condolence last night which was met by a huge response.

Sami's classmates and their parents were keen to pay tribute, along with other members of the community.

Shazana Mahmood added: "I am deeply saddened by what's happened. My daughter, Simrah, was in the same class as Sami and she can't stop talking about him. He will be deeply missed by all."

Sameena Rashid said: "I can’t imagine what the parents are going through. He was a good kid, my daughter went to primary school with him and he lived in the neighbourhood."

"RIP Sami, such a lovely, kind, friendly young lad. Sending all the love, thoughts and prayers to your family," added Rebecca.

A couple of the parents said: "So sorry to hear this very sad news of my child's fellow pupil who sounds like a fantastic young man. He will leave a massive hole in the lives of those who knew him, most of all his family."
