MANCHESTER, England — A heartbreaking tragedy has shaken the Manchester community after 20-year-old Kadey Anglin was found dead at a city centre flat last week. Police confirmed her identity as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding her sudden death.

When officers arrived, they discovered Ms. Anglin unresponsive inside the apartment. Despite the efforts of paramedics, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
