Friends of the family said Keziah loved the Disney film Frozen and would often dress up as its main character Elsa

Pupils and teachers at Keziah's school, Queensgate Foundation Primary, will be offered support after the half term holiday.

Family friend, Lucie McMahon said: "How do you explain it to five and six-year-olds? The best way you can explain it is that she's gone to the stars."

Hampshire Constabulary said Keziah's mother was being supported by specialist officers.

Isle of Wight councillor Julia Baker-Smith, who lives nearby, said: "We're absolutely shocked and saddened.

"The whole community is grief-stricken, by what's happened."

Investigations into the exact circumstances of the deaths are ongoing.
