Police 'want more time' to find cause of death for baby who suffered 'medical episode' at nursery

Police investigating the death of a 'beautiful' baby girl who suffered a 'medical episode' at a Stockport nursery have requested more time to establish the cause of death, a coroners court has heard. The nine-month-old has now been named as Genevieve Meehan.

She was taken to hospital after falling ill at Tiny Toes Children's Day Nursery, in Cheadle Hulme, on May 9. The baby died later the same day.

An inquest into the baby's death has now been opened at South Manchester Coroners' Court. At a pre-inquest hearing yesterday (November 30), police revealed the cause of her death was still unknown, and the results of her post-mortem are only expected following the anniversary of her death next May.
