A major police probe has started after a baby girl was found unresponsive in a garden pond in Falkirk last night.
Emergency services raced to Dollar Avenue, Bainsford, shortly after 6pm on Thursday June, 10.
A number of cops were spotted at the scene including three police cars, a van and two ambulances.
It's understood the 18-month-old girl was pulled from the water before medics arrived and was then rushed to Forth Valley Royal Hospital under a police escort.
One neighbour, who didn't want to be named, told the Record: "I was cutting the grass and then all I heard was screaming.
"I could tell by the screaming there was something seriously wrong, it was horrible, I can still hear it in my head.
"Minutes later I heard sirens, and then loads of police turned up along with an ambulance - they all went running round the back of the house.
"I couldn't really see what was going on, but cops were standing at the back door and looking into the house.
"Paramedics carried the child out into the ambulance and it went flying out the street behind a police car."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Emergencies services attended at Dollar Avenue in Falkirk at 6.10pm on Thursday, 10 June, after an 18-month old child had fallen into a pond.
"The child was taken to Forth Valley Royal Hospital for treatment, where she died a short time later. Enquiries into the incident are ongoing.”
