Tyler Peck: Death of boy, 15, in Salcombe 'unexplained'

A 15-year-old boy has been found dead at a seaside resort town, prompting a police investigation.

The body of Tyler Peck was found at a house in Salcombe, south Devon, on Saturday morning, said Devon and Cornwall Police.

The teenager's death is being treated as unexplained, and officers' investigations are ongoing, the force said.

Tributes have been paid to Tyler, said to have been "taken far too early".

Tyler, a pupil at River Dart Academy near Totnes, will be "very much missed", said one person on Facebook.

"Such sad news, another beautiful soul lost," said another comment; and a third said: "best people are always taken too soon".

A post-mortem examination will be held to establish the cause of death.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.

Police said officers had been talking to the academy and Kingsbridge Community College about offering support to pupils, because he had friends at both schools.

Daniel French, vicar of Salcombe and Malborough, said on Facebook: "We are keeping an altar up this week in Holy Trinity Church, Salcombe for young Tyler who died suddenly.

"All are welcome to come in and light a candle. God bless him and may he rest in peace."
