Hundreds of emotional tributes are pouring in across social media for a young schoolgirl who died in a ‘game gone wrong’ at her family home. 

Honey French, 12, was found dead at her house in the Milford Haven area of Pembrokeshire on Saturday morning, in an incident described as a ‘horrible accident’ by her mother Jessica.

Police were alerted to the ‘game gone wrong’ on Saturday by the Welsh Ambulance Service and have since ruled out any foul play.

Officers are yet to reveal how schoolgirl Honey passed away, with a report now being compiled by the coroner.

Speaking about the loss of her young daughter, Jessica French stated; ‘This was a horrible accident, a game gone wrong. Our hearts are shattered; she was the most loved little girl of all’.
