A Derby school girl has died aged just 12.
The Littleover Community School pupil, who lives in Derby, died on Monday, according to the school's head teacher Ash Venkatesh.
He said he did not want to name the pupil, who was in Year Eight, but said she was a "very popular" girl.
The school has been hit with a double tragedy - tragically a former pupil died yesterday afternoon.
Mr Venkatesh said the pupil was either aged 17 or 18 and left the school to go onto further education in the summer of 2013.
He said: "Our main priority is to offer support to our pupils and their friends who are upset and grieving.
"It's a very distressing time, but nothing compared to what their families are going through. They were both well-liked pupils and I'm very proud to have had them as students."
