British cheerleading coach, 16, suffered burns on 60% of her body before dying in Dominican Republic boat blast

Abigail sustained first and second degree burns across 60 per cent of her body, ultimately dying of septic shock caused by septicaemia. Her brother and sister, Carley and Bradley, were two of over 20 tourists left badly injured by the same explosion.

The vessel — a 35-person catamaran returning from Saona Island — burst into flames after a 'pop' was heard, breaking apart part of the deck.

Abigail died on July 30; her remains have since been brought back to Wiltshire, with the inquest recording septicaemia from burn injuries as the cause of death.

Swindon Lightning Cheerleading Club, where Abigail coached, said: 'Her kindness, infectious smile and love for cheerleading touched the lives of so many.'
