Lucy Harrison, from Cheshire County, England, was found at her father's house in Prosper, Texas, Jan. 10, the Cheshire Constabulary said in a release.

No details about how Harrison was shot were included and there was nothing noted about a criminal investigation underway. In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Town of Prosper said a "thorough investigation" into the "tragic incident" had been carried out by the Prosper Police Department and a file had been passed to the Collin County District Attorney for review.

The medical examiner noted in the Jan. 23 autopsy report that a bullet entered the right side of her chest and exited on the left side of her back.

After her death, an investigation was launched by the Collin County District Attorney's office. An inquest was also opened with a hearing scheduled for Warrington Coroners' Court in the U.K. March 28.  

"Ms. Harrison was on holiday in the USA when she was fatally shot with a firearm," the Chesire Constabulary said.

Her family said the young woman had a "huge capacity to love and be loved."

The family said she was "truly thriving in life" before her death.

"She could be dramatic and elaborate situations like it was the end of the world, yet she could also be straight talking and not afraid to have bold conversations," the family said. "We are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful, gorgeous Luce."

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Collin County District Attorney's office and the Chesire Constabulary for comment.
