A 15-year-old boy has died after being found fatally wounded in a block of flats.

Hertfordshire Constabulary said no arrests been made in connection with the death, which is being treated as "suspicious".
The cause of the boy's death has not been confirmed and a post mortem examination will be carried out, the force added.
A police spokeswoman said she could not comment on the nature of the boy's injuries or whether a murder inquiry had been opened.
