A nearby neighbour said: "A big ambulance came. One of the lads that lives over there, he came over and he just said - she's not breathing. I calmed him down and he went back over and next thing, they brought her out and took her away." | |
Another resident added: "There was shouting and carrying-on and that's basically all I heard, but obviously, to wake up to this, this morning, it's devastating." | |
