They've asked people to send them photos and memories of her
A 16 year old girl who was found dead in the grounds of a High Wycombe borading school has been identified.
Caitlyn Scott Lee's family say they are grieving the loss of their uniquely gifted daughter.
They have created a website to honour her memory and allow people to leave their tributes.
She passed away at Wycombe Abbey School, on Friday 21st April 2023.
Her family say she: "was a well loved member of the Wycombe Abbey community and had a particular passion for the theatre, arts, music, and the environment".
"Caitlyn was gifted with autism and had an ability to see the world uniquely and thrive at her boarding house. The school community, friends, and family are grieving her loss but we are comforted in her personal relationship with Jesus Christ".
"Caitlyn enjoyed nature, the environment, sustainability, and birds. She would have appreciated potted plants over cut flowers, and support for The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Tributes and donations can be made in Caitlyn’s memory, here: https://caitlynscottlee.muchloved.com/
The circumstances of Caitlyn’s death continue to be investigated and Thames Valley Police are aiding the Coroner in their investigation; an inquest will be conducted in due course.
