We have opened an online book of condolence for Maddy Campbell who passed away suddenly aged 17.
Maddy's family have been left heartbroken after the teenager’s sudden death when she did not wake up on the morning of September 14.
A postmortem examination came back as inconclusive and more tests will be carried out.
Her father Chris Campbell said: “There was no sickness, no accident. As well as losing Madison, who leaves a massive void in our lives, there’s nowhere to put your emotions.”
Maddy was born and raised in Colchester and went to primary school in Copford.
She then attended Honywood School in Coggeshall where she was well-liked.
