Mystery after teen mum found dead in demountable home as her baby sleeps next door
The circumstances surrounding the death of a teen mother whose body was found at a home in Western Australia almost a week ago remain unknown. Officers received a Triple-0 call about an unresponsive 18-year-old woman at a demountable property in Calingiri, north-east of Perth, on Monday at about 8.45pm. Police and paramedics arrived at the property on Harrington Street where they carried out emergency first aid. The young woman was declared dead at the scene. Emergency services are understood to have found a baby unharmed in a nearby bedroom. 'Being a small little community town, I think a lot of people are still shocked to see what happened,' neighbour Clint Hansen told 9News on Friday. 'And you know, there's that many different stories going around, so nobody actually knows what happened.' WA Police would not confirm the condition of the baby. When ambulance staff arrived at a demountable home at the rear of Harrington Street, they did not enter the property until police arrived due to 'safety concerns'. It is understood police received the emergency call from a man in an agitated state. Neighbours have said the owners of the property were not in town regularly and that the building was built less than two weeks before the incident. Detectives have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the woman's death.
