A CHANNEL 4 TV star has been found dead alongside a woman's body with a fellow paramedic and co-star paying tribute to her "best friend". A murder probe has been launched by Staffordshire Police after they found the two bodies, believed to be 24-year-old Daniel Dufford and 22-year-old Lauren Evans, inside a house on Tuesday. Daniel was a paramedic and star of the Channel 4 show 999: On The Front Line - which follows ambulance crews as they responded to calls.
His crew mate and co-star on the show Ellie posted a tribute to social media following his "tragic" death. She said: "Never in a million years did I think I'd have to sit and write this and yet I'm still trying to come to terms with it. "I just want to express how special you [were] to me, not only my best friend at work and the best crew mate but one of my best friends who had a massive impact on day to day life, the most kind hearted person who always had time to help others, who made me laugh every day and always would pick up the phone whenever I was in need.
"Dan I can't believe you're actually gone." She added: "We were meant to go out together this week and I was looking forward to seeing you. Even the phone call we had this morning an hour before you [were] gone I'll never forget, love you forever Dan.
" Daniel's sister also paid tribute on social media, saying she never thought she would have to write the post about her "beautiful brother". She said: "My beautiful brother has left us today I’m so distraught you.
