A teenage boy from Berkhamsted has been found dead. 

Benjamin Walters, 18, was discovered at around 6pm on Tuesday after an ambulance was called to an address in Priory Court.

A 28-year-old woman who was with him is in a critical but stable condition at Luton and Dunstable Hospital. 

It has been reported that the pair had both attended a party in Priory Court on Monday night.

Ben was a student at Amersham and Wycombe College, and a former pupil of Ashlyns School. 

His Facebook page has been flooded with tributes to a "fun", "smart" and "lovely" friend. 

Police are currently investigating the death.
