British teen cheerleader dies in Dominican Republic boat incident during family holiday
A 16-year-old British cheerleader, Abbie Lainton of Swindon, died after a boat explosion during a family vacation in the Dominican Republic, with two siblings badly injured. A GoFundMe fundraiser has raised tens of thousands of pounds as tributes from her cheer team and Tanwood School honor her bright personality and love of performance; the UK Foreign Office is providing consular support to the family.
