Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Cox, of Lincolnshire Police said: “This is an exceptionally sad incident, and one that we know will impact the local community, or indeed anyone hearing about it.
“There may be a temptation to speculate about what happened while people attempt to understand this tragedy, and we’d ask people to avoid doing so, particularly on social media where facts can become distorted.
“We will do everything we can to establish what has happened, and we’d like to thank everyone for their support.”
A spokesperson for the ambulance service said they sent a paramedic in an ambulance car, a crewed ambulance and a doctor from the Air Ambulance to the scene after receiving a call at 11.09pm.
