Published: 10th Jan 2013 13:30:13
A 16-year-old boy has died after suffering head injuries at a Greater Manchester factory, police said.
Officers attended the scene on Huntley Mount Road, Bury, at 10:45 GMT on Tuesday after reports of an "industrial accident".
Cameron Minshull, from Bury, was taken to Wythenshawe Hospital but died a short time later.
A joint Greater Manchester Police and Health and Safety Executive investigation is now under way.
In a statement, Cameron's family said his death "will leave a big hole in many people's hearts".
"We have lost a very precious part of our lives and there are no words that can describe how we are feeling.
"Cameron was a much loved son, brother , nephew , grandson , great-grandson and a friend to many."
"We just ask at this terrible time if we could have some space to grieve as a family."
