A 17-year-old has died and a murder investigation is underway after an alleged assault at a house party in Victoria last month.
Jason Langhans died in hospital on Saturday - three weeks after he was seriously injured in an altercation at Station Road in Tooradin, south-east of Melbourne in the early hours of March 21.
The Cranbourne North boy's mother Carolyn has expressed her heartbreak, along with other family and friends.
"Jason you were our whole life and not a day will go by without us thinking about you and wishing you were here, we love you so much and our lives feel so empty," Ms Langhans wrote on Facebook.

"Jason you put up a good fight but unfortunately, it was your time to go and now you're no longer in any pain."
Mr Langhans' sister also took to social media to pay tribute to her brother.
"Jason it has been the longest two weeks of my life without you," the Instagram post read.
"It's crazy to think how one night and one person's actions can literally change your life forever.
"I love you now and I'll love you forever, but please it is time to wake up now my life is not the same without my not-so-little brother."
