Friends have paid tribute to a 'smiling' teenage girl who died after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest just hours after allegedly taking ecstasy.
Police are now probing the 'unexplained' death of 16-year-old Sky Nicol, who was found unconscious at a home in Darwen, Lancashire, last night.
They have arrested another 16-year-old girl on suspicion of 'being concerned in the supply of ecstasy' to the teenager, who later died in
hospital.
A 46-year-old woman has also been detained on suspicion of obstructing the course of justice.
In a statement today, Lancashire Police said Sky's death was being treated as 'unexplained',with a post-mortem examination set to take place to establish the cause.
They said: "At this stage we believe that Sky had taken a quantity of drugs earlier in the evening, but we cannot say at this stage what that was or whether there is any link to her death as a post mortem examination has not yet been carried out."
They added that the girl's relatives are being'supported by specially trained officers'.
Sky's friends have also taken to Facebook as news of her death spread, describing the teenager as 'popular' and 'gorgeous'.
