Friends have paid tribute to a 'smiling' teenage girl who died after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest – just hours after allegedly taking ecstasy.
Police are now probing the 'unexplained' death of
16-year-old Sky Nicol, who was found unconscious at a home in Darwen,
Lancashire, last night.
They have arrested another 16-year-old girl on suspicion of
'being concerned in the supply of ecstasy' to the teenager, who later died in
hospital.
In a statement today, Lancashire Police said Sky's death was
being treated as 'unexplained', with a post-mortem examination set to take
place to establish the cause.
They said: "At this stage we believe that Sky had taken
a quantity of drugs earlier in the evening, but we cannot say at this stage
what that was or whether there is any link to her death as a post mortem
examination has not yet been carried out."
They added that the girl's relatives are being 'supported by
specially trained officers'.
