Tributes to schoolgirl, 12, who died at home in ‘game gone wrong’ as police rule out suspicious death
Hundreds of emotional tributes have been pouring in on social media for a young schoolgirl who died during a ‘game gone wrong’ at her family home.
Honey French, 12, was found dead at her home in the Milford Haven area of Pembrokeshire on Saturday morning, in an incident described by her mother Jessica as a ‘terrible accident’.
Police were informed of the ‘match gone wrong’ by the Welsh Ambulance Service on Saturday and have since ruled out any foul play.
Officers have yet to reveal how schoolgirl Honey died. The coroner is now preparing a report.
Speaking about the loss of her young daughter, Jessica French said; ‘This was a terrible accident, a game gone wrong. Our hearts are shattered; she was the most loved little girl of all’.
