The 14-year-old was found with wounds consistent with a dog attack at a house near Wigan in Greater Manchester on Tuesday afternoon.
She is understood to have been visiting the property in Chaucer Grove, Atherton, and was alone with four dogs – believed to be two bull mastiffs and two Staffordshire bull terriers – which were later shot by police marksmen. A fifth dog was contained at the scene.
Superintendent Mark Kenny of Greater Manchester Police said officers were faced with a "very tragic scene" at the house and that the teenager's friends and family were "devastated" by her death.
"There are a number of detectives now working on piecing together the events of yesterday afternoon and we'll obviously work out exactly what happened. The most likely scenario is that Jade was attacked by four dogs, but that is still part and parcel of the investigation," he said.
