The teenage girl who died from a suspected allergic reaction following a meal at Almost Famous in Manchester has been named as Shahida Shahid.
Shahida, 18, was studying maths at Manchester University and her family live in nearby Worsley.
Today they were too distraught to talk about the tragedy.
It is understood Shahida was in intensive care for three days before she passed away on Monday.
She was rushed to hospital after eating at the restaurant in Great Northern Warehouse on Friday and later collapsing near to the Printworks on Withy Grove.
Friends and family paid tribute to the teenager, a former pupil at Walkden High School and Winstanley College in Wigan, on social media sites.
Writing on Facebook Farjana Alam said on 11 January: "Everyone please keep my cousin in your prayers. She is in the ICU, has gotten brain damage, and she isn't being responsive. Every prayer counts xx"
But yesterday she posted an update following Shahida's death, writing: "To God we belong and to God we return. My beautiful, brilliant, kind, loving cousin has passed away. Please everyone keep her in your prayers. I still cannot believe she's gone and my heart aches with pain that she has left the world. May Allah grant her mercy and take her to the highest of Jannah.
Everyone please pray for her and her family's strength."
Friends on Twitter also paid tribute.
Sophie tweeted: "So last night I found out that one of my friends was taken off life support few hours ago and sadly passed away - RIP SHAHIDA sadly missed."
Amy wrote: "Quite literally in shock at the moment, RIP Shahida, I didn't know you for long but I'll still miss you, sleep tight."
Gemma Woodward tweeted: "So much to live for - rip Shahida xxxxx - so so amazing."
