Police are continuing their enquiries into the death of a 17-year-old boy at an address in Ryde this morning (Saturday).
Hampshire Constabulary was alerted to the discovery of a body at a residential property in the St John’s Hill area at 10:14.
Officers were deployed to the scene, alongside colleagues from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service, but there was nothing that could be done to save the boy’s life.
The teen was pronounced dead at the scene.
His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
There has been no suggestion of third party involvement.
Enquiries continue.
Sincere condolences to all family and friends.
How very sad. Can’t even begin to imagine what the family are going through right now. Sincerest thoughts with you.
In the case of any unexplained death be it medical or otherwise, its normal procedure for the Police to be involved.
Condolences to all concerned.
I’m confused, who said it was unexplained?
The police would be called to any underage death
It’s normal
