Heartbroken tributes have poured in for a young woman who tragically died almost a month after she fell down the stairs while in a bar. Georgia Harry, 26, was out with friends in Liverpool city centre in the early hours of Monday, March 17, when she fell down the stairs in Lost Bar. Merseyside Police received reports of the incident on Seel Street at approximately 2.15am, with Ms Harry of Aigburth, Liverpool, immediately rushed to The Walton Centre hospital where she remained in critical condition. Now, her devastated mother, Nicola Poolton, 44, has revealed her daughter's tragic death, telling the Liverpool Echo that she was taken off life support on April 8, before passing away on April 13. Leading the touching tributes to her 'bubbly, outgoing and friendly' daughter, Ms Poolton described her as a 'strong fighter' that 'fought until the end'. She added: 'She was a hard-working girl who loved to have fun with her friends and going on holidays. She was so sociable.' Reflecting on Ms Harry's terrifying time during the ICU, Ms Poolton said: 'We were told on the night that they didn't think she would make it through the night. 'But when we turned off life support she survived for five days.' Ms Harry, who lived with her mum and two dachshunds, Mabel and Maggie, worked at Liverpool Passport Office based within the city centre. During a funeral service held on May 7, friends and family gathered to commemorate her life. A moving obituary notice declaring Ms Harry's passing stated that she had died 'peacefully in hospital surrounded by her loving family'. It added: 'Much loved daughter of Nicola and David. Georgia will be sadly missed by all who knew her. 'To our darling daughter. We miss you the world our beautiful miracle. We love you the world and back.' Describing her daughter as her 'little miracle baby', Ms Poolton added: 'still can't believe this is actually real'. Pictured: Lost Bar, Seel Street.

'We are keen to stress that the men in the image are not in any trouble and there is no suggestion that they have done anything wrong. We would like them to come forward to assist with our enquiries. 'I urge the men to please identify yourself and contact us as a matter of urgency.' Ms Poolton said that police inquiries have since concluded, with an inquest into the circumstances surrounding Ms Harry's death set for July this year.
