Mum Charged With 3 Y.O.’s Murder Dies Days After Being Found Unresponsive In Cell

The mother who was charged with the murder of her three-year-old daughter on Tuesday has died in hospital after being discovered unresponsive in her cell.

Lauren Flanigan, 32, was arrested after police were called to her home in Moore Park Beach, Queensland, on Monday afternoon. Police arrived at the scene to find Flanigan’s three-year-old daughter, Sofia Rose, unresponsive after suffering multiple stab wounds.

Flanigan was arrested and transferred to Brisbane Women’s Correctional Centre while she awaited a court date. However, days later, Flanigan was found unresponsive in her high-risk cell.

Flanigan was given immediate assistance before paramedics transported her to the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

On Sunday night, a spokesperson for Queensland Corrective Services confirmed that the 32-year-old had died.

“QCS will assist the Queensland Police Service in preparing a report for the coroner,” the spokesperson, per news.com.au.

“This is standard practice for all deaths in custody. Support is being offered to the responding officers and their colleagues.”

According to Superintendent Brad Inskip, multiple calls to emergency services had been made after the incident on Monday. Police and paramedics arrived to find Flanigan and Sofia Rose’s body in the front yard of the home.

“There were multiple wounds to the child’s body,” Superintendent Inskip said at the time, per The Australian.

“Despite multiple attempts to apply first aid to that child, that child unfortunately died due to the injuries that she had received.

“It was a horrific scene, a terrible incident for everybody — including the witnesses, including the emergency services, police and ambulance officers who attended and the investigators doing the ongoing investigation.”
