The boyfriend of a 16-year-old girl who died after she was choked during sex has shared a heartbreaking final message to her.
Emergency services were called to a home in Elanora Heights, on Sydney‘s Northern Beaches, about 5.45pm on August 23 following reports a girl was having a seizure.
She was found unresponsive by paramedics, who then placed her in an induced coma before she was airlifted to Royal North Shore Hospital in a critical condition.
The girl’s mother was present and was taken to the hospital by road ambulance.
NSW Police confirmed the girl died two days later.
Friends of the 16-year-old have shared a series of photos and messages on social media, paying tribute to the girl.
Her boyfriend left a message in the comments of one post.
‘I love you more than anything and I miss you more than you could ever imagine. Rest peacefully my love,’ he said.

‘You wouldn’t judge a single soul and saw everyone for their kindness and who they truly were. Every room you walked in would light up.

‘I will never forget my first day of school, and that was the day I met you, possibly one of the best days of my life. I hope to see you in the afterlife where we can catch up like we used to.’
It is understood police have been told the girl was involved in a consensual sex act involving choking, during which she allegedly became unconscious and suffered a seizure.
A 16-year-old male, known to the girl, was cooperating with police.
‘Officers attached to Northern Beaches Police Area Command commenced an investigation into the incident,’ police said in a statement last week.
No arrests have been made and inquiries are continuing, police confirmed to the Daily Mail on Tuesday.
Days after the girl was found dead, Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek said Australia needed to seriously look at recent UK laws that criminalised depictions of strangulation and suffocation in pornography.
‘There is something wrong with a situation where 60 per cent of young people say they’ve experienced strangulation during sexual encounters,’ she said.
‘There is no safe way to strangle someone.’
NSW Liberal leader Kellie Sloane has written to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese calling for a UK-style ban to be introduced.
‘We have had the inquiries, we have the evidence and we have seen the consequences,’ she said.
‘When pornography depicts an act capable of causing brain injury, unconsciousness or death, it should not be treated as just another form of adult entertainment.’
