Baby girl's death 'unexplained' | |
(about 12 hours later) | |
A six-week-old baby girl from Aberdeen whose death has sparked a police investigation has been named. | |
Alexis Matheson was admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary early on Sunday from her home in Deansloch Crescent in Northfield. | |
She died in hospital in Edinburgh on Monday after being transferred. | |
A post mortem examination has been carried out and findings are being analysed. Grampian Police said at this stage the death was "unexplained". | |
It is understood police will interview her mother and her partner. | |
Best efforts | |
Detective Inspector Richie Guild, who is heading the enquiry, said: "As is normal in such circumstances we have interviewed a number of people in an effort to establish what has occurred. | |
"We have deployed family liaison officers who are providing support to the family at this time." | |
Alexis was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary at about 0100 GMT on Sunday. | |
After initial treatment there, Alexis was transferred to the paediatric intensive care unit of Edinburgh's Royal Hospital for Sick Children by air ambulance for specialist treatment. | |
Police said that, despite the best efforts of medical staff, Alexis died. | |
A team of 20 officers are involved in the enquiry with forensic examinations and house-to-house enquiries continuing. |
