Tributes to schoolgirl found hanged

1:07pm Fri 25th Jul 08:: written by Gareth McPherson


Tributes have poured in for an 'angel' schoolgirl found dead at a house in Burnham.

Paige Frost, 15, was discovered hanged in the back garden on Wednesday night after she had been out with friends.
As the tragic news spread yesterday, the gates of Burnham Upper School, where the teenager studied, were covered with a banner, teddy bears, flowers and written tributes.

The grisly discovery was made by Sharon Garrity who was looking after the popular teenager on a temporary basis. She said that Paige, whose mother died two years ago, had 'problems' so was staying in the house in Hall Meadow.

A post mortem is due to be held today and an inquest will be held into the death.
Police said that they are not treating the incident as suspicious.

Paige's death is the second tragedy to hit the school in Opendale Road in less than a week.
Former Burnham Upper School pupil Robert January, 18, died after the red Subaru he was driving crashed into a lamppost in Slough on July 18.

  • My heart goes out to Paige and am so sorry that she felt so lonely - she was obviously a much loved friend. The response from those who loved her is so touching, driving past the school gates was very emotional. God bless you Paige xxanon
