A teenage girl has died after being found injured in a Cheshire park.

Police are appealing for information after the youngster was discovered with serious injuries in Warrington.

Officers were called to Culcheth Linear Park at 3.13pm on Saturday following reports about the girl.

Emergency services attended the incident but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her next of kin have been informed but formal identification has not taken place.
