The death of a 19-year-old girl who suddenly died after allegedly falling off a bed at her boyfriend's home is now being treated as suspicious by police.
Krystle Monks, 19, was discovered unresponsive with critical head injuries at her boyfriend's home in Ipswich, Queensland at 9:30 PM on Saturday (February 4).
Monks was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane but sadly passed away on Sunday evening, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Her boyfriend, who remains unnamed, was present at the property at the time of the incident and is reportedly the one who phoned the emergency services.
The neighbors reportedly heard screaming and yelling around the time Monks was discovered unresponsive, and authorities are now treating her death as suspicious.
Regional Crime Coordinator Superintendent Larissa Miller revealed that police had previously attended the property on a complaint of domestic violence.
However, no charges of wrongdoing have been brought against Monks' partner with police refusing to comment about whether investigators have spoken to him.
The property has been cordoned off by law enforcement officials and forensic teams are combing for any evidence that could explain the teen's untimely death.
Tributes have poured in for Monks, who goes by the name Krystal Taylah online, with friends and family paying their respects.
Paige Harlow, a friend of the 19-year-old penned: "From the moment we met we were instantly close and I am so lucky that I got to have been your friend. I looked forward to going to work each day because I knew my best friend would be there and would put a smile on my face.
"You had such a kind heart and do not deserve what has happened to you. 19 is far to young for you to have been taken away and I am absolutely heartbroken. You are in unforgettable friend and I will forever miss you." (sic)
Monks' father Steven Taylor spoke to the Daily Mail, where he revealed that the family is "heartbroken" and that they will remember her as "always young, forever beautiful."
As cited by news.com.au, another online tribute read: "You are one of the most amazing, loving and caring people that I know. You will be missed by everyone. Let your soul rise high and free and enjoy paradise … Forever 19."

Her sister told 9News that she "held her hand the entire time" she was in the hospital and that her "heart was breaking" and she "couldn't stop crying."
