An 11 year old girl has died by accidentally hanging herself while playing.

Reports indicate that Rehanna Briggs was at her Williamsville home playing with a cousin on Friday.

Around 5pm the cousin left to take a bath and Rehanna was left to play alone.

About an hour later she was found hanging on the compound from a piece of clothing on a clothes line.

She was rushed to the Princes Town, Health Facility where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Police officers believed Rehanna was dancing and twirling when she became entangled in a piece of clothing.
