TRIBUTES have been paid to a “really lovely” 14-year-old girl who died at the weekend following a party.
Police Scotland said they received a report that Zoe Bremner, pictured right, had died in Dundasvale Court in Glasgow at around 12.45am on Sunday.
Kay Dingwall, headteacher at Knightswood Secondary, said: “This is such tragic news and our heartfelt sympathies and prayers are with Zoe’s family and friends at this extremely sad time.
“Zoe was a really lovely girl and will be sorely missed by all the staff and pupils at the school.”
A boy and a girl, both aged 15, who were also at the property were treated at the city’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after becoming unwell but have since been discharged.
Police say their investigations have revealed the teenagers were at a party in the Yoker area late on Saturday afternoon. They returned to Dundasvale Court in the evening and in the early hours of the morning they contacted emergency services.
The death is being treated as unexplained, with one line of inquiry focusing on whether the incidents may be drug-related.
Dingwall said: “We will do all that we can to help and support young people and staff, who will obviously be deeply affected by this saddest of news today and during the difficult days ahead.”
Police are appealing for anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
Detective Inspector Greig Wilkie said: “This is very disturbing and our thoughts are with the family at this distressing time. We are currently carrying out extensive inquiries in relation to the incident.
“Our investigation will include whether any substances have been a factor in this incident. If anyone has any information which could assist our investigation, I would urge them to contact us.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
