THIS is the first picture of a tragic 14-year-old girl who died after taking an unknown substance.
The schoolgirl, who has been named locally as Shakira Pellow, was rushed to hospital after collapsing in a park in Camborne, Cornwall, on Friday night.
Shakira, who went to Helston Community College, was pronounced dead around 12 hours later.
Two other 15-year-old girls were taken to hospital, along with a 15-year-old boy, where one remains in a serious condition.
Shakira's devastated mum has paid tribute to her daughter on Facebook in a series of heartbreaking posts.
Rita Hole changed her profile picture to one of the tragic youngster with the caption: "Baby mummy and your sisters love you so much. Please come home my baby".
Two boys aged 17 and 15 have been arrested on suspicion of drug offences following the tragedy.
Tests are being carried out on the substance to determine what the substance is.
Detective Superintendent Roy Linden said it was a "truly tragic incident" and warned youths about the dangers of drug-taking.
He said: "It is believed that all four teenagers were initially hanging around a scrapyard near Tesco, before heading back to the home of one of the teenagers.
"All four have then gone on to Pengegon Park and an area known as 'The Courts', which is a well-known area for teenagers to gather.
"A short time later, the 14-year-old girl collapsed and an ambulance was called.
