BARKING - The Metropolitan police said a four-year-old girl died after falling from a tower block in Barking, east London, according to The Guardian. The newspaper reported that the girl was injured after "falling from height" at an address on St Paul's Road in Barking on Saturday and later died in hospital.
BBC News reported that paramedics gave first aid at the scene on Saturday morning, but that the child later died, according to police. The broadcaster's account describes the emergency response at the scene before the girl's death was confirmed.
The Guardian also reported that police said the incident was not believed to be suspicious. The article was written by Charlie Moloney, who is credited as its author in the summary available for this report.
Neither The Guardian nor BBC News, as summarized in the material available for this story, gave details of how the girl came to fall or from which floor of the building she fell. Neither summary described any further steps by police beyond the statements attributed to them.
Both reports identify the girl as four years old. The summaries of The Guardian and BBC News do not name her, and the material available for this story does not include any statement from her family.
