The devastated parents of a straight-A schoolboy have paid tribute to their 'amazing' son after he was found dead on a railway line.
Fraser Bennett, 14, was found on the tracks at 10.30am on Wednesday by emergency crews who dashed to the scene in Blackminster, Offenham, Worcestershire.
British Transport Police are not treating Fraser's death as suspicious.
In a statement, his heartbroken family said: 'Fraser was an amazing young man, loved by everybody who knew him.
'Our hearts are broken, and we are struggling to come to terms with our loss.'
The popular teenager attended Prince Henry's High School, in Evesham, Worcestershire, where he excelled both academically and in sports.
His death also came just months after he was awarded a school prize for valour.
Paying tribute to the high-flying teenager, headteacher Dr Tony Evans described him as a 'shining star'.

He said: 'Fraser was a very popular young man, with many friends across the year groups.
'In the words of his teachers he was a delight to have in the class, he worked with a quiet determination and he was a very kind and polite student.
'Fraser was a keen sportsman, regularly playing for the school's rugby, football and cricket teams.
'At last year's Speech Day, he was the inaugural winner of the Ian Parkin Prize for Valour.
'Fraser will be a shining star in our hearts forever. May he now rest in peace.'
