A 16-year-old girl dies in hospital after police are called to a home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, where she is found unresponsive. NSW Police launch an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
Several outlets report that investigators are treating the incident as a suspected sexual choking act connected to a consensual sexual activity, though the precise cause of death has not been established. One report describes the event as suspected choking during consensual sex, while another frames it as detectives investigating whether the death is linked to a sex act after paramedics were called. ABC also reports police are treating it as a possible sexual choking act.
Police have not publicly released medical findings or details of what happened before she was found unresponsive. The investigation continues as authorities work to determine what led to her death and how it relates to the suspected choking.
