Casey-Jane Taylor was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. It’s understood her death is not being treated as suspicious but investigations into the cause of death are ongoing.

She was born with fetal anticonvulsant syndrome and was autistic.

Her sister, Alicia, told Wiltshire 999s that Casey-Jane was a ‘colourful and fun-loving’ person with ‘her whole life ahead of her’.

She said: ‘She didn’t have a huge amount of friends but those she had she loved and they loved her.

‘Casey was always dying her hair different colours and was amazing at art. She had a big heart and would always greet friends with a big hug.’

Her family say they cannot afford the “beautiful farewell” she deserves and have launched a fundraiser to try and raise the funds needed. Find out more or donate on Go Fund Me here.
