I have been contacted by the press regarding the tragic death of a 15 year old girl in Bakers Park. The death is drug related ( Legal highs were mentioned). She was found so I understand at approx 5 am today and taken to hospital, where she later died.
This is an awful tragedy for all concerned. As a parent and grandparent, my heart aches for the family of this young girl who has died so tragically young. I cannot begin to imagine the pain the family and friends must be experiencing.
I understand that the drug scene has become an epidemic locally of late, and it’s certainly one we can do without. I hope anyone with any information regarding this incredibly sad event will contact the police, who I am sure will be investigating the circumstances surrounding this death, asap. Contact the police by dialing 101.
