British woman visiting American dad in Texas found dead in his home

Fox News Digital has verified that the death of a 23-year-old British woman, Lucy Harrison, who was visiting her father in Prosper, Texas, has been classified as a homicide.

Harrison, originally from Cheshire County, England, was discovered at her father’s residence on Jan. 10, according to a statement from the Cheshire Constabulary.

As per an examination conducted by the Collin County Medical Examiner and documented by Fox News Digital, it was determined that Harrison’s cause of death was a gunshot wound to her chest inflicted by another individual.

No details about how Harrison was shot were included and there was nothing noted about a criminal investigation underway. In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Town of Prosper said a “thorough investigation” into the “tragic incident” had been carried out by the Prosper Police Department and a file had been passed to the Collin County District Attorney for review.

“Ms. Harrison was on holiday in the USA when she was fatally shot with a firearm,” the Chesire Constabulary said.

Her family said the young woman had a “huge capacity to love and be loved.”

“She was the embodiment of wonderful contradictions. She adored travel and being away, experiencing new places and cultures, yet, at the same time, she loved nothing more than snuggling up in her pajamas with her candles on at home,” the family said.

The family said she was “truly thriving in life” before her death.

“She could be dramatic and elaborate situations like it was the end of the world, yet she could also be straight talking and not afraid to have bold conversations,” the family said. “We are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful, gorgeous Luce.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Collin County District Attorney’s office and the Chesire Constabulary for comment.
