A four-year-old girl died on Christmas Day following an accident at her home, it has been disclosed. | |
It is understood she was injured when a television fell on her at home in Coedpoeth, Wrexham, on Christmas Eve. | |
North Wales Police were called at 1820 GMT, but doctors at Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital were unable to save her and she died the next day. | |
Police said the family of the little girl, whose name has not been released, were "distraught". | |
