The family of 14-year-old Daniel Halliday have paid a heartfelt tribute after he disappeared in the River Mersey near Crosby Beach. Emergency services were alerted at 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 30, amid growing concerns for his safety.

Rescue Efforts Fail to Find Daniel

Despite a rapid response from HM Coastguard and rescue teams, Daniel remains missing. His brother reportedly tried to save him, but the river’s strong current was too fierce.

Family Shattered, Plea for Privacy

Merseyside Police are supporting the devastated family during this nightmare. In a statement, they said:

“Our worst fear is that this tragic accident has taken our lovely boy from us. Daniel was jumping waves with his big brother who tried to save him but the current was too strong. Daniel is a loving son, brother, cousin, nephew, and grandson. The family are all devastated, and we hope that we will be allowed our privacy at this time. Thank you.”
