Emergency services were called to Burnside Lakes on August 12 and found the body of Dishone Lloyd on August 13. Dishone was a pupil at Mark Hall Academy in Harlow, Essex.
A message from headteacher Matt Carter described him as a 'cherished' student who was due to receive his GCSE results on Thursday (August 22). Mr Carter wrote: "Dishone was not just a student at Mark Hall; he was a cherished member of our family and community. He brought positivity and warmth to those who knew him, and his presence was felt throughout our Academy.

He had just successfully completed his secondary education and had a bright future ahead of him, and the suddenness of this tragic loss is a stark reminder of just how precious and fragile life can be." Mr Carter added: "In times like these, it is important that we come together to support one another.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to Dishone's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. We stand with them, offering our love and support to help navigate this unimaginable grief. "Dishone was a special pupil at Mark Hall Academy and his memory will act as a beacon and guiding light for us moving ahead, he will never be forgotten.
With his family's support and guidance, we will organise a memorial where we can celebrate his life, share memories, and his achievements." Students and staff members at the school will have counselling services made available to them. "During this profound loss, let us remember Dishone for the light he brought into our lives, and let us support each other, particularly his loving family as they work through this painful time," Mr Carter wrote.
A funeral to remember Dishone will be held on September 6. A memorial page said: "He is much loved and will always be remembered."
