A baby has tragically died after an incident at a home in south Manchester today (Thursday)
Emergency services including an air ambulance raced to a property in south Manchester where sadly a baby is confirmed to have died.
The incident unfolded this morning (Thursday) on Platt Lane, Fallowfield. Residents said the incident was “terrifying” as one said they saw a paramedic race out of a property with a baby.
Neighbours said there was a huge presence of emergency services in the area with several ambulances and police cars at the scene, close to the junction with Yew Tree Road, reports Manchester Evening News. The air ambulance helicopter landed nearby.
One person said she saw a paramedic run out of a property with a baby. “It was terrifying,” she said. “Very scary.”
Another neighbour said: “There was a lot of police and two ambulances. I heard one of them mention a child.”
Detectives and forensic crime scene investigation (CSI) officers were seen as an investigation began.
“I didn’t see or hear anything until a police officer knocked on my door,” a neighbour told the Manchester Evening News.
“There was one in uniform and one in plain clothes. The one in plain clothes just said there had been an incident and asked if I’d heard anything. He didn’t say any more.”
The Manchester Evening News understands a baby died at the scene. It is not yet known if the child’s death is being treated as suspicious.
The North West Ambulance Service confirmed paramedics attended an incident at a private address, but declined to give further details.
