Two-year-old who died in Ingoldmells caravan fire was born in Newark and 'most gorgeous child, full of fun and cheeky'

A two-year-old girl, born in Newark, who died in a fire at an Ingoldmells caravan park has been described as the most gorgeous child, full of fun and cheeky.

Fire broke out in a caravan at the Sealands Caravan Park off Roman Bank at around 10.30pm on Monday and tragically claimed the life of Louisiana-Brooke.

Her mother Natasha Broadley, known as Tash, and her three other children managed to make it out safely.

As the family, who were all raised in Newark, struggle to come to terms with what happened, tributes have been pouring in for the youngster, who was described to the Advertiser as the most gorgeous baby, fun and cheeky, who never left her mother's side.

Tributes were posted on Natasha's Facebook page and that of her mother ­— Louisiana-Brooke's grandmother ­— Donna Broadley, who owns Donna B's Tasty Bites in Newark.

Donna wrote: "Our hearts are broken as 'wee wee' was our baby of our family.

"Tash gave her everything. She was her right leg.

"Our hearts are broken.

"We as a family will be here for Tash and my grandchildren."

Hayley Swinscoe wrote on Tash's Facebook: "I'm so sorry to hear of this heartbreaking news.

"I can't come close to imagining what you are going through at this sad time and my heart and thoughts are with you and your family. R.I.P beautiful girl."

Angela Cochrane wrote: "Thinking of you and your family Natasha Broadley at this horrendously sad time. Fly high beautiful little angel."

Natalie Christina wrote: "To think it was only two days ago I saw you after so long; your gorgeous kids and my gosh what a beautiful baby girl Tash, we’re all absolutely broken for you.

A Gofundme page has been set up to support the family.

Organiser Laurie Selfridge wrote on the page: "As yesterday’s tragic news has broken all our hearts, only God knows what pain Natasha and her children are going through right now.

"Their life has been torn apart in a million ways.

"Their baby sister so tragically taken from them all. If only we can give Tasha some peace at this time by helping her in any way you can would be so appreciated.

"Please donate anything you can."

The cause of the fire has not yet been established.

Detective Inspector Jo Fortune, Senior Investigating Officer with Lincolnshire Police, said: “This is a devastating incident for all involved. We are in the very early stages of our investigations and the circumstances which led to the fire are not yet clear. We will be working closely with specialist teams to understand what happened.

“We would like to appeal to anyone who was there last night and has not yet spoken to police to come forward, and for anyone with video footage to please share that with officers to add to our intelligence of the incident.

“This is particularly harrowing, with a family losing a child, and we’d ask that people remember those victims and not share footage online.”
