He has now been re-arrested on suspicion of producing a class A drug and released on police bail until the end of May.
Lucy’s school Exmouth Community College paid tribute to the teen in the days after her death.
DevonLive previously reported:
“Lucy was a kind, considerate beautiful person. She was very well-liked by her peers and the staff who knew her well.
“She was always smiling, looking out for others and many of her friends benefited from her loyalty and care. She was bright, hard-working and well-motivated.
“She was predicted to perform at the very highest level in her GCSE subjects. She will be greatly missed but has left us all with fond memories of the lovely person that she was.
“The college has been left reeling from the shock of Lucy not being with us anymore. Her friends, teachers and peers have shown amazing fortitude and support for each other. We have received many messages and offers of support for these young people, and we thank those members of the Exmouth and wider community who have contacted us.”
The teenage boy arrested recently has been arrested on suspicion of both supplying and producing a class A drug and bailed until June.
