Tributes have been paid to a “well-liked” and “popular” teenager who has died aged 17.
Kayla Brown, a prefect at Perth Grammar School, died earlier this week at Perth Royal Infirmary.
Around 6.35pm on Tuesday, ambulance crews were notified that she required medical assistance at the family home in Stanley.
The 17-year-old was taken to PRI by ambulance, where she later died.
Police yesterday confirmed there are no apparent suspicious circumstances surrounding Kayla’s death.
Tributes were yesterday paid by Barry Millar, head teacher at Perth Grammar School, and fellow pupils.
Mr Millar said: “Kayla was a well-liked and popular pupil with staff and her classmates, and she will be greatly missed throughout the school.
“She was a school prefect and she set a wonderful example to the younger pupils, as well as to her own year group.
“Educational psychologists have been made available to both pupils and staff, and the school’s guidance team are also working very hard to provide any help and support needed.
“Our thoughts are with Kayla’s family during this incredibly difficult time.”
Kayla’s friends also paid tribute to her on social media websites.
One said: “Last night I received the worst phone call of my life.”
She added: “I can’t believe she’s gone, but all I can do is thank her through this post for being such an amazing best friend to me.”
Another friend tweeted: “Thank you Kayla Brown. Just thank you. Thank you for everything. I still refuse to believe it.”
A police spokesperson said: “Police Scotland, along with other emergency services, attended an address in Stanley at 6.50pm on Tuesday following reports a 17-year-old girl required medical assistance.
“She was taken to Perth Royal Infirmary where sadly she died.
“There are no apparent suspicious circumstances and as with all other sudden deaths a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”
