A three-month-old baby girl has died while camping with her family in Cheslyn Hay woodlands.
Emergency services were called to land off Strawberry Lane, near Cheslyn Hay, Stafforfshire, at 8:45 BST on Saturday, September 5, to a report of a child in cardiac arrest.
An air ambulance was sent to the scene but the child was pronounced dead by paramedic a short time later.
'Unexplained' death being investigated
"While the investigation remains at an early stage, this is an isolated incident," Det Insp Katie Gregory said. "The death is being treated as unexplained at this time."

About the area where the baby died
The area is not an official camping site but locals said teenagers would often fish in two pools there and camp overnight.
The nature trail is also popular with dog walkers and runners.
Officers cordoned off a fishing lake at the nature reserve, close to the Wyrley and Essington Canal. Drone images from the scene showed at least four tents and camping chairs next to each other, close to fishing platforms.
A bunch of roses was also left nearby, in tribute to the little girl.
Councillor Robert Duncan said the community was devastated. He also urged residents to "avoid speculation and allow the family and responders the privacy and respect they deserve".
"It's important that we allow the emergency services the space they need to complete their work with dignity and care," he said.
Robert added, "As soon as the full and confirmed details are formally shared with me, I will provide a further update to residents. Until then, please avoid speculation and allow the family and responders the privacy and respect they deserve."
The scene of the tragedy was described as "hidden away" from the main woodland in the Wyrley and Essington Branch Canal Local Nature Reserve.
