Police are investigating the death of a 12-year-old girl who died in a ‘horrible accident’.

Honey Foxx French died at her home in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire on October 19 in what her family described as a ‘game gone wrong’.

Police and the ambulance service were called over concerns for the welfare of a child, but Honey was pronounced dead at the scene.

An inquest into her death opened earlier today and police confirmed they have launched a full investigation, after previously saying the death was not being treated as suspicious.

A post-mortem was carried out at West Wales General Hospital, but the results are not yet known.

Honey’s school, Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi, paid tribute to her, saying: ‘It is with great sadness that we announce that one of our pupils passed away unexpectedly at the weekend.

‘Honey French was much loved and cherished by all who knew her, and was a valued member of our school community here at Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi VA.

‘She was a keen performer and writer who gave generously of her humour, time and talents to support our school family and wider community – and she will be very much missed.

‘Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this sad time.

‘We now ask people to be mindful of the family’s need to grieve in private.’

A GoFundMe page set up to raise money to cover the cost of Honey’s funeral has already raised nearly £4,500 in donations.

Honey’s mum, Jessica French, said: ‘This was a horrible accident, a game gone wrong. Our hearts are shattered; she was the most loved little girl of all.’

The inquest has now been adjourned until April 10 of next year so more investigations can take place.
