Tributes are flowing for the 15-year-old girl who died after drinking a cocktail made from alcohol and energy drinks where she is being remembered as a ‘free-spirited’ young woman.
Paris Kamper was found unconscious at a semi-rural property in Kenthurst, in Sydney’s north-west, on Friday night.
Police seized items from the family home, including a bottle of alcohol and energy drinks, after it was discovered the teenager had used an online recipe.

Devastated loved ones described the 15-year-old as an ‘incredibly talented’ and ‘amazing’ young horse rider with ‘a heart of gold’.
‘She was gorgeous but even more beautiful on the inside … she had a heart of gold and would constantly offer help to me if I needed it!,’ one person shared online.
‘We love you forever,’ another loved one wrote in a touching tribute to the girl.
The teenager had a blood-alcohol level of 0.4 when she arrived to hospital – a reading which is eight times the legal driving limit.
Police said it is believed the teenager was drinking alone at her home at the time.
‘This child was not a user of alcohol, she wasn’t known to have a drinking issue,’ Superintendent Rob Critchlow said.
‘I cannot state how pointless and tragic and sad and avoidable the death of a 15-year-old child, drinking alcohol on their own, is in a place that should be a place of safety.
‘The information we have is that she was quite a character, quite a free-spirited young girl, who was well respected and well liked.
‘She was deeply engaged in her animals, she had chickens and horses and other livestock on her semi rural property.’

The girl’s older sister marked the devastating event by changing her profile picture and cover photo.
‘My angel,’ the caption under one of the pictures read, while the other one – a picture of the sisters – was simply labelled: ‘Snow Bunny’.
The girl was taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, in the city’s western suburbs, but she died on Monday.
The teenager was one of five children.
‘Send the strongest warrior angels to look after your beautiful sisters,’ one friend wrote.
‘Send the fierce one to stand strong for your brothers.’

Police claimed the young teenager had little experience with alcohol after they seized energy drinks containing high levels of caffeine before paramedics rushed to her family home at 9.30pm last Friday.
Superintendent Critchlow, from her local Hills Police Area Command, also said combining alcohol with popular energy drinks containing the guarana stimulant was a toxic brew.
‘This investigation is in its infancy but early inquiries indicate this girl sourced an alcoholic drink recipe from an online site, then put that information to the test,’ he said.

‘The consequences have been tragic.’
Supt Critchlow said underage drinking was potentially fatal.
‘We cannot emphasise more strongly the risk of underage and – more importantly – uninformed alcohol consumption,’ he said.
‘We have a family devastated by the death of their beloved daughter; they have a lot of questions.’
With police investigating the cause of the tragedy, he had a simple message.
‘We will endeavour to find answers, but our message has to be: do not risk your health experimenting with high-risk information sourced online,’ he said.
A post-mortem examination is due to be done this week.
