The parents of a beloved 16-year-old girl who was found dead at her boarding school, have set up a touching tributes website in memory of their daughter.
Caitlyn Scott-Lee tragically died at her school, Wycombe Abbey School, in Buckinghamshire, on Friday, April 21.
The year 11 student was found in a wooded area near the playing fields in the evening, not far from the school's sports centre playing grounds.
Police are not treating her death as suspicious and the Coroner is conducting an investigation.
Today, her parents released a website dedicated to the talented teenager, whose passions included photography and nature, as well as the environment.
The touching tribute is to "celebrate a beautiful life", and on the site, they said: "Caitlyn passed away at Wycombe Abbey School, on Friday 21st April 2023.

"Caitlyn was a well loved member of the Wycombe Abbey community and had a particular passion for the theatre, arts, music, and the environment.
"Caitlyn was gifted with autism and had an ability to see the world uniquely and thrive at her boarding house. The school community, friends, and family are grieving her loss but we are comforted in her personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
"Caitlyn enjoyed nature, the environment, sustainability, and birds. She would have appreciated potted plants over cut flowers, and support for The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Tributes and donations can be made in Caitlyn’s memory, here: https://caitlyn-scott-lee.muchloved.com
"The circumstances of Caitlyn’s death continue to be investigated and Thames Valley Police are aiding the Coroner in their investigation; an inquest will be conducted in due course. We ask for privacy at this time.
"We welcome photos, writings, and memories of Caitlyn. Please email your memories here and, in time, we will curate onto this website: MemoriesOfCaitlyn@gmail.com".
The touching website shared pictures of Caitlyn throughout her life, as a baby with her father in hospital to growing up and going on family holidays and vacations, including to Australia.
Caitlyn is pictured skiing and scuba diving and posing with loved ones as some of the most recent pictures show her seemingly on an open day or visiting Wycombe Abbey School.
In some pictures, she is shown with the camera her parents said helped "fuel her passion for creativity and the arts" that she took photos of nature and the environment with.
The tribute website shares some of Caitlyn's own photography, showing a number of stunning shots of animals and nature.
The Mail reported that in an email to parents in Caitlyn’s year the school's headmistress Jo Duncan said: "They are a close year group and, as you will understand, they are very shocked and upset.
"It is an extremely difficult time for everyone and we will do our utmost to provide the additional pastoral care the girls will need."
Wycombe Abbey is regarded as one of the most prestigious girls boarding schools in the UK.
The school has not yet commented on the incident.
In an open letter written by Caitlyn's dad about the school, he wrote about how his daughter "always had an affinity for the UK" and had wanted to go to boarding school.
Later on he described how she was "thriving and loving it there" even as the rest of the family were in Hong Kong.
A statement from local police said: “Thames Valley Police was called to the Wycombe Abbey School at around 11.40pm on Friday (21/4) after a 16-year-old girl was sadly found to have died.
“Her death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious and a file is being prepared for the coroner.”
