A 17-year-old girl, who was found unconscious in her closet Sunday, later died in a Tucson hospital.

The teen, whose name was not released due to her age, was found at about 11:45p.m. at the 200 block of Coronado Courts.

When Douglas police arrived they found the girl on the floor of her bedroom closet, said Marcus Gonzalez, the spokesman for the Douglas Police Department.

The police started CPR on the girl until Douglas paramedics arrived. She was transported to Southeast Arizona Medical Center, then air-evacuated to Tucson.

The teen was later pronounced dead. Douglas Police Detectives are investigating the death as a suspicious death.  Autopsy is scheduled for today at 12:30 p.m. in Tucson.  Investigation is continuing.
