Toddler dies in hospital after suffering 'serious injury' at Birmingham home

An investigation has been launched following the death of a toddler who was discovered with serious injuries at a home in Birmingham.

Emergency services were called to a home in The Green, Northfields, at around 3PM on Sunday afternoon after receiving reports that a 21-month-old child was unconscious.

The girl was immediately rushed to Birmingham Children’s Hospital in a critical condition but was pronounced dead at 8.30PM last night.

A 28-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of causing or allowing serious injury to a child. They have since been granted conditional police bail.

The home has since been secured by police while investigators conduct further enquires and wait for medical tests to be completed.

Ian Wilkins from West Midlands Police Force CID said: ‘This is a terribly sad case which has resulted in the death of a little girl.

‘At present her death remains unexplained; our enquiries will focus on determining whether any of the injuries she sustained were deliberately inflicted or whether this was a tragic accident.

‘A post mortem will be carried out in due course which will hopefully confirm the precise cause of death.’
