Hampshire Girl Died From Hanging
Police investigating the disappearance of Hampshire teenager have confirmed that a body found in the New Forest is that of Rosemary Edwards.
Walkers near Bartley found the body of the 15-year-old on Sunday. Police said that early indications suggested that the death was not suspicious.
Results of a post-mortem carried out on the body found that she had died as the result of hanging.
Rosemary, 15, has been missing from her home in Dibden Purlieu since September 4. Earlier, police said that she had left after a family argument over her losing a part-time job.
Her father David Edwards left a message on her Facebook page saying: "I am sorry to tell you that a body has been found that answers Rosemary's description. Rosemary touched so many people's lives and it seems impossible to believe that she was so low that she felt life wasn't worth living."
On September 5, Mr Edwards had gone to Rosemary's room to get her up for school. She had not taken her phone or any money when she left.
