21-year-old Steven Massey has died in hospital after alcohol-induced cirrhosis of the liver became so bad that it split the organ in half. The young man leaves behind two children: 3-year-old TJ and 5-month-old Meya.
Massey began drinking in his early teenage years and was soon drinking up to 15 bottles of wine a day. His mother encouraged other parents in similar situations to get help as soon as possible, saying "kids don't realise what damage they are doing."
"In hospital, he prayed to see his children grow up. And he would tell friends, 'don't drink ? look what it's done to me'. I don't want any mother to go through this. My family have all been to hell and back," she said.
