The father of a Polish teenage girl found dead at school after she complained about racism has said he is still in shock.

Dagmara Przybysz died at the Pool Academy in Cornwall yesterday after police and paramedics rushed to the scene.

The 16-year-old had moved from her native Poland with her family to live in the town of Redruth.

Enquires are continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding her death but it is not being treated as suspicious.

Dagmara had moved to the UK with her family and later complained on Facebook about 'racism' at school

Dagmara's father Jedrzej Przybysz said: 'I am in shock, but I am too upset to speak about it. I need more time and just need to be left alone for now.

'I don't know how she died as I need to talk to the police. I don't know what happened. But I am in shock. That is all.'

One neighbour said: 'She was such a nice girl. I just can not believe it. They are such a nice family. It is so sad. Everyone is heartbroken.'

Before she died, Dagmara had complained about suffering taunts at school on website ask.fm.

Answering a question about what problems she had at school, she replied 'racism', adding that it makes her sad when friends say things behind her back.

The comments were made two years ago, but, after her death, several friends referred to continued problems.

One friend posted online: 'It is so sad what people do to make people do this stuff. F*****g ridiculous.'

Another friend wrote: 'Such a beautiful girl, died a such a young age because of absolute p***ks.'

'Dagmara was a beautiful, bright and creative 16 year old student with a very promising future ahead of her.

'She was passionate about fashion and photography. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dagmara's family and friends at this difficult time.'
