Tributes paid as ‘beautiful’ girl, 16, dies after ‘falling unwell’ in Scots home
EMOTIONAL tributes have been paid to a teenager who died yesterday after being found “unwell” at a property in the early hours.
Cops in Dundee have launched a probe after they were called to a home in the Dudhope Gardens area of the city at around 5am on Saturday morning.
A family member told The Scottish Sun Lennix Hughes, 16 was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee where she was pronounced dead a short time later.
One loved one posted an emotional tribute on social media earlier today.
They said: “Writing this with the most shattered of hearts, our beautiful baby sadly passed away on the morning of Saturday the 4th of March.
“We are absolutely broken and can’t imagine this life without her by our sides. Everyone that knows Lennix will agree she is the most caring soul with the biggest smile that could light up any room she walked in.
“The most affectionate girl with a fiery personality. The girl who always made us laugh no matter how much we didn’t want to and a hug from her could fix anything in an instant.
“The baby of the family who also loved being treated like a baby. We are the luckiest people on this earth to have had 16 amazing years with her.
“She is without a doubt the type of person you don’t come by twice in this life.
“Lennix you were just far too beautiful for this horrible world we really appreciate each and every heartfelt message from all of you but right now we are just trying to come to terms with this as a family.
“Goodnight my precious little lamb.”
Another posted: “My best friend, my baby sister. I love you forever”
A large police presence remains outside the home where the girl was found and where neighbours reported significant activity over the weekend.
One resident said the police had not left the area since arriving on Saturday morning.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 5am on Saturday, 4 March, we were made aware of a 16-year-girl being unwell at a property in the Dudhope Gardens area of Dundee.
“Emergency services attended and she was taken by ambulance to Ninewells hospital where she was pronounced dead a short time later.
“The death is being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing. A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
