Olivia Burke, 21, Eimear Walsh, 21, Lorcan Miller, 21, Ashley Donohoe, 22, Eoghan Culligan, 21, and Niccolai Schuster, (pictured bottom left to bottom right) all died in Berkeley, California, yesterday.
Seven other students, also from Ireland, were injured and some have critical, life-threatening wounds following the tragedy yards from the University of California. Witnesses said there were around 14 partygoers crammed on to the balcony, which collapsed with a sharp crack at around 12.45am on Tuesday, spilling them about 50 feet on to the pavement below. Tearful friends of the dead and injured (main picture) gathered outside the building and laid flowers and Irish flags where they fell.
