A 16 year old boy has been released on conditional bail, following the death of a 13 year old girl in Huddersfield earlier this week.
The teenager was initially detained on suspicion of murder and rape after the girl was found unresponsive, before passing away in hospital in the early hours of Tuesday.
Officers were initially called to an address on Sheepridge Road at 11:36pm on Monday (August 11).
A post mortem has not managed to establish how the girl died, meaning her death is still being treated as unexplained.
The 16 year old has also been questioned over a separate incident of rape, which happened elsewhere in Kirklees.
