(about 1 hour later) | |
A two-year-old girl has died after what police described as a "tragic accident" in her bedroom. | |
It is understood that Muireann McLaughlin had become tangled in a window blind cord at her home in Menstrie, Clackmannanshire. | |
The alarm was raised after she was found in the bedroom by a family member at about 1630 GMT on Tuesday. | |
She was taken to hospital in Stirling but was pronounced dead. The death is not being treated as suspicious. | |
A police spokesman said: "Central Scotland Police officers can confirm that a two-year-old girl has died in a tragic accident within her home address in Menstrie, Clackmannanshire. | |
"There are no suspicious circumstances and Central Scotland Police officers are supporting the family at this time." | |
A report into the circumstances will be submitted to the procurator fiscal at Alloa, as is standard procedure with any sudden death. |
