A GIRL of 18 has died of a brain haemorrhage after collapsing on the way home from a night out with friends.

Teenager Lana Morris was walking back to her home in Gillingham when she collapsed in a driveway in Livingstone Road.

She lay unconscious for several hours before being discovered and was taken to the intensive care unit at Medway Maritime Hospital. Three days later, the decision was made to switch off her life support machine.

Lana had always expressed her wishes to donate her organs if anything ever happened to her. So her mother, Kim Newman, carried out her wishes and Lana's organs have now helped to save the lives of three others.

Kim, 37, of Beatty Avenue, Gillingham, has been left devastated by the death of her "independent, free-spirited daughter".

Her partner of seven years, who is known as H, said: "She was a great daughter and such a free spirit. Kim and I will never see her reach her potential and she had so much of it."

Lana's funeral took place on Friday, when more than 30 bikers followed her coffin through the streets of Medway to the Blue Bell Hill crematorium. Lana was a keen motorbike fan and had always wanted to become a motorbike mechanic.
