TRIBUTES have been paid to a young man from Broughton who died at a hotel in Blackpool.

Twenty-year-old Andrew Senior of Coronation Road collapsed at the Cleveland Hotel in Coronation Street, Blackpool, at about 4am on Sunday.

The former St Davids High School pupil, known as Buster to friends and family, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics from North West Ambulance Service.

Lancashire Constabulary say a 19-year-old man, who is also from Broughton, who was arrested in connection with the death has been released and no further action will be taken.

A spokeswoman for the police said that Andrews death is being treated as "unexplained".

She added: "At 4.30am on Sunday, police were called by the ambulance service to a hotel on Coronation Street, Blackpool, after reports that a 20-year-old-man had collapsed.
