Her mother found her unresponsive at 6 a.m. and called 9-1-1 but responders weren’t able to revive her.
Succee says there are indications she may have consumed alcohol but there were no obvious signs of what caused her death.
An autopsy is being conducted today.
She was a student at Whatcom Middle School and an e-mail from the principal identifies her as Hazel Phair.
