An ambitious politico believed to be the youngest ever elected to a local council in Britain was found dead in her student apartment, according to reports.

Clarissa Slade, 21, was found dead Monday at England’s Winchester University, where she was studying classics, according to the Telegraph.

Slade, an active member of the Conservative Party, was just 18 when she was elected to the Mid Devon District Council and to Tiverton town council in 2015, the BBC said.

Her social media accounts were flooded with photos of her with local politicians, including Prime Minister Theresa May.

Slade’s cause of death is “unexplained,” according to police. She was born with a heart defect and was recently hospitalized with pain.

Her parents Colin and Elizabeth Slade are also Conservative councilmembers.

Colin Slade was stunned over his daughter’s sudden death. He said she was interested in pursuing a career in politics.

“She had a bright future ahead, she was very keen on politics and she was a very bright young councilor the youngest in the country when she was elected,” he said. “It is such a shock. She was due to come back to visit yesterday and the first thing we knew was when she was not on the train.”

Clive Eginton, a leader of Mid Devon District, said Clarissa Slade worked hard for her constituents.

“On the national stage she had also made her mark with her involvement in youth politics,” Eginton said. “Clarissa had an endearing personality to all those who knew her well, and we will miss her enormously. Our thoughts at this time are with Clarissa’s parents Colin and Elizabeth.”
