Emergency services were called to an address in Riverside Drive in Monkton Park shortly before 3pm on Sunday afternoon (13 September).

A 16-year-old boy was found unresponsive, sparking a significant 999 response from police and the ambulance service.

Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance medics provided urgent care alongside local ambulance crews, but he could not be revived.

Despite their best efforts, the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.

Wiltshire Police confirmed that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family at this time”, a force spokesperson added.

It’s understood the boy died by suicide and the HM Coroner for Wiltshire and Swindon has been informed. An inquest can be expected in due course.
