Dale Millett

TRIBUTES have been paid to a “happy, well-liked” young man who died from a stab wound in Camden Town.

Dale Millett, 24, had lived at the Ampthill Estate in Harrington Square all his life and worked as a labourer.

His brother Richard, 32, said: “He was a quiet boy, he kept himself to himself. He was just a young kid. A young, normal kid.”

It is understood that the fatal wound was self-inflicted.

Mr Millett added: “It is so shocking. He had depression but not something that was noticeable. He was happy, well-liked by everyone. He hadn’t said anything. God knows what was going through his head.”

The brothers’ dad died earlier this year, age 53, after suffering a heart attack.

Friends and neighbours have left flowers and cards with tributes outside the block of flats where Dale lived with his aunt, uncle and brother.

An air ambulance landed at the nearby HS2 construction site in Hampstead Road after crews were called out to the Ampthill estate at around noon last Thursday.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called to reports of an incident at a residential address on Harrington Square, Camden. We sent an ambulance crew, an incident response officer and a medic in a car to the scene. We also dispatched London’s air ambulance trauma team. Sadly, a person died at the scene.”

The Met Police said in a statement: “The death is being treated as non-suspicious but unexplained.”

Friends and family are planning to hold a memorial event for Dale at the estate today (Thursday) at 8pm.
