Police are investigating the sudden death of a teenage girl in Dundee.

Officers have been in attendance at a property on Morgan Place since Saturday morning.

Distressed neighbours have described how they looked on in horror as paramedics tried to resuscitate the girl both outside her home and in an ambulance.

It is understood the girl is Polish and had lived at the address with her parents and siblings.

Morgan Place in Dundee.

One police vehicle is currently still in the area and an officer remains outside the door of her first floor home.

They say the death is being treated as unexplained.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Around 9.30am on Saturday police received a report of the sudden death of a teenage girl at a property in the Morgan Place area of Dundee.

“The death is currently being treated as unexplained, pending further enquiries.”

Tragic

One neighbour said: “This is tragic. I saw the paramedics carrying out CPR on the girl in the street outside.

“They then carried on for a few minutes inside the ambulance.

“I was told she had passed away. It’s so sad she was just a young girl.

“She and her family are lovely. I say hello to them and the young girl who died was friendly with my grand-daughter.”

Another neighbour added: “The police and ambulance arrived on Saturday morning.

Neighbour: “This is so sad”

“We were told that the young girl who lives in a ground floor has passed away.

“This is awful. She was a lovely girl. We used to see her getting into the car with her dad in the mornings to go to school.

“The family are Polish and always so polite and seem to be very hard working.

“No-one seems to know what happened but neighbours saw paramedics trying to resuscitate her.”

A third neighbour called it “a tragedy”.

They said: “It was shocked to see things unfold on Saturday morning.

“I saw paramedics giving CPR to the girl. It was awful to witness.

“What a tragedy for her family, my thoughts go out to them.”
