A toddler who died in hospital after falling into a garden pond has been named by police.
Emergency services were alerted to the incident in Dollar Avenue, Falkirk, at around 6.10pm on Thursday.
Ella-Grace Rimington, who was known as Gracie, was taken to Forth Valley Royal Hospital but the 18-month-old died a short time later.
Enquiries into the incident are ongoing, however the death is not being treated as suspicious.
Detective inspector Craig Faulds, of Forth Valley’s CID, said: “This is a heartbreaking incident in which a young girl has died.
“The family has asked that they be given privacy at this very difficult time and I would like to ask the public and media to please respect the family’s wishes as they deal with their unimaginable loss.”
