By Martin Booth  Monday Mar 3, 2025

A crowdfunder set up to raise money in memory of the teenager from Shropshire killed in a dog attack in south Bristol has already raised more than £6,000.

Morgan Dorsett tragically died at a flat on Cobhorn Drive in Withywood.

The 19-year-old, who lived in the small village of Minsterley near Shrewsbury, has been described as “strong, kind and so full of life”.

Money raised from the crowdfunder will go towards covering funeral and memorial costs for Morgan.

Crowdfunder organiser Sharon Harris said: “The tragedy of losing a loved one is painful, that pain must be unimaginable when you lose someone so young and in such a tragic way.

“Morgan was a a truly beautiful girl. One of the ‘blonde bombshells’. She was strong, kind and so full of life.

“The loss will be felt by all who knew her and no more than in our close community.

“I cannot find the words that are going to comfort her family, but I need to feel that I am doing something.

“The family will have not just their grief to deal with but practicalities too. I wanted to lighten that burden in some way.

“I think we can all show our love for such a beautiful girl by giving a small amount to help cover some of the financial burdens this family will undoubtedly face.

“Anything raised will be for the family to use to cover funeral and memorial costs. Allow the family time to grieve so covering essential bills while they take time from work, anything they need.”
