The North Yorkshire Police responded to the scene at approximately 1:15 p.m. local time, where they confirmed that Leah had sadly passed away, with no other injuries reported.

Described as a “happy, bubbly, go-lucky little girl,” Leah was a beloved 5th Grade pupil at Mount Pleasant Primary School in Darlington, Yorkshire.
