"A female believed to be aged 18 was pronounced dead at the scene.

"A post-mortem examination will take place in due course."

A person who was with her called 999, according to the Sun.

Louis has been left 'devastated and ­distraught' by the death, the Sun reported, and praised his sister as 'loveable, caring, bright and beautiful' last night.

The singer has pulled out of Friday night's Comic Relief, where he was due to perform his new single live as one of the headline acts.
