This is the first picture of a 16-year-old girl from Dundee who tragically died over the weekend after falling unwell.
Emergency services raced to a property in the Dudhope Gardens area after receiving reports that a teenager had fallen ill at roughly 5am on Saturday, March 4.
The youngster was rushed to Ninewells Hospital by ambulance, but sadly passed away shortly after arriving. She has since been named locally as Lennix Hughes.
Posting to Facebook, a family member said she had been left "shattered" by Lennix's death and described her as "the most caring soul".
She wrote: "Writing this with the most shattered of hearts, our beautiful baby sadly passed away on the morning of Saturday the 4th of March her precious little heart couldn’t fight any longer. We are absolutely broken and cant imagine this life without her by our sides."
"Everyone that knows Lennix will agree she is the most caring soul with the biggest smile that could light up any room she walked in. The most affectionate girl with a fiery personality, the girl who always made us laugh no matter how much we didn’t want to and a hug from her could fix anything in an instance."
"The baby of the family who also loved being treated like a baby. We are the luckiest people on this earth to have had 16 amazing years with her. She is without a doubt the type of person you don’t come by twice in this life.
"Lennix you were just far too beautiful for this horrible world. Goodnight my precious little lamb."
Lennix's death is currently being treated as unexplained and a police investigation has been launched to determine the full circumstances.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Around 5am on Saturday we were made aware of a 16-year-girl being unwell at a property in the Dudhope Gardens area of Dundee.
“Emergency services attended and she was taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital where she was pronounced dead a short time later.
“The death is being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing. A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
