[A teenager has died after she was found on fire in the street in south-west London early on Sunday morning.

Emergency services were called at 1.10am to reports of a burning woman on the level crossing near a Tesco branch at West Barnes Lane in New Malden.

They managed to extinguish the fire but the woman, believed to be around 18 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A spokeswoman for the London Fire Brigade said the woman had suffered burns on every part of her body.

Nearby Burlington Road and neighbouring streets were sealed off.

Officers believe they know the identity of the deceased and have informed next of kin. No formal identification has taken place.]

Shocking
no one has said why , yet?

wondering if it was suicide. i've posted about a teacher who did that to himself at my school before... it was horrible. i just hope she didnt do the same.

..yeah, I remember when you posted that, it was awful and so upsetting for you and everyone else at the school...it doesn't say anyone else was involved in this or that they're looking for anyone ....it's just so incredibly heartbreaking, what she must have been feeling to do that to herself, it that's what happened...

It's really strange... the fire started in her home?? She was on fire at a level crossing... but her son is fine? Did she set herself on fire or did something catch fire and she was somehow set on fire and ran outside and died? So strange... what an awful way to die

Her son was with relatives at the time.
