The death of a Glasgow toddler found emaciated and covered in lice is to be probed under a Fatal Accident inquiry.
Two-year-old Lauren Wade died in March 2015 after she was discovered i n a filthy flat in the Sighthill area.
While there was no obvious signs of injury on the tiny tot's body she was so thin that her backbone and shoulders were visible through her skin.
Her baby teeth were decaying while her feet and the palms of her hands were black.
Thirty minutes after tragic Lauren was rushed to hospital she passed away.
Alcohol and Diazepam were found in her body according to the toxicology report.
Her monster mother Margaret Wade and her partner Marie Sweeney were each jailed for six years in 2019.
The brutes were convicted of the wilful ill-treatment and neglect of their daughter, Glasgow Live reports.
The hearing scheduled to take place this summer and is expected to hear from multiple witnesses involved in the case that shocked the city.
The neglect of the toddler and two other children led to a Significant Case Review looking at how the health and social care agencies dealt with Lauren and her parents.
This later found that Wade and Sweeney were uniquely cruel and "devious" and avoided what they saw as "interference" from outside agencies such as health visitors and social workers.
It also highlighted a lack of "professional curiosity" from those charged with protecting the two-year-old.
The review also found that a large number of professionals dealing with the family did not push hard enough to see evidence of improvement in the family's circumstances after concerns were raised.
A police officer who attended the scene on the day Lauren died described the house as "uninhabitable" with rubbish piled so high in the kitchen he couldn't get in.
The Fatal Accident Inquiry is expected to begin at at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday, July 11, with preliminary hearing scheduled to take place on Friday, May 6.
