A schoolgirl has died and another
remains in hospital after they were allegedly given drugs at a party.
Devastated friends have paid
tribute to Sherie-Lea James, 15, who died on Thursday after being taken to
hospital.
Emergency services were called
to a one-bed flat in South Ockendon, Essex, at 5.45am to reports of a girl
unwell.
Sherie-Lea was taken to
Basildon Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Another 15-year-old girl was
taken to the same hospital where she remains on Friday.
She is not thought to be in a
life-threatening condition. Friends claimed Sherie-Lea died “after being given
drugs at a party.”
They took to social media to
pay tribute to a “beautiful young lady”.
Jonty Edmundson said: “Sherie
was my best friend, and I’m gutted & devastated.”
Shannon Holland added: “R.I.P
Sherie-Lea James. Known you since you were tiny!
“You grew up into such a
beautiful young lady! My love goes to your mum, Your brothers and the rest of
your family. Taken far too soon.”
