A 15-year-old girl died yesterday after she was found unconscious at her home.

A police spokesman said the girl was found “unresponsive” about noon at a house in My Lord’s Bay Road in Hamilton Parish.

He added: “Despite life-saving efforts at the scene and as the teenager was rushed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance, she was later pronounced dead.

The spokesman said no further information would be released until the girl’s next of kin had been informed.
