Family and friends heartbroken over death of Manchester woman who was 'living her life to the full in Australia'
A BRITISH woman has been found dead at the lapdance club where she is thought to have worked after partying with a group of men.
The body of Stacey Tierney, 29, was discovered at Dreams Gentlemen’s Club in Melbourne, Australia, 12 hours after the group fled.
She is believed to have been an exotic dancer at the venue, which was closed at the time of her death on Saturday, December 17.
The mystery group of men and other customers at the club are now being sought by the city’s police.
Stacey, originally a fitness instructor from Manchester, had lived in Australia for the past three years.
Pals also described Stacey, whose social media profiles were filled with pictures of herself in bikinis on board yachts, as “streetwise”.
Stacey’s mother Michelle, 52, and her family are waiting to find out the cause of death.
Relatives and friends have raised more than £11,000 through a page to bring her body back to Britain.
