A lady that was elected as the youngest councillor in Britain, Clarissa Slade, has died. The 21 year old student at Winchester University, was found dead by her housemate at her student accommodation.


Clarissa Slade made history when she was elected as a Conservative councillor for Mid Devon District Council just two months after her 18th birthday. The politician, who also served on Tiverton Town Council, is the daughter of Colin Slade, who is also a councillor.

Clive Eginton, leader of Mid Devon District Council said:

“The devastating news regarding the sudden passing of Cllr Clarissa Slade has been deeply felt by myself, fellow councillors and officers across Mid Devon District Council.As our youngest ever elected councillor, Clarissa worked hard for her residents in Cranmore ward and also participated across the town in a whole in a variety of events.On the national stage she had also made her mark with her involvement in youth politics. Clarissa had an endearing personality to all those who knew her well, and we will miss her enormously. Our thoughts at this time are with Clarissa’s parents Colin and Elizabeth.”
Her death is being treated as unexplained by police, with a post-mortem examination due to take place.
