Two people have been arrested over the death of a one-year-old girl.

Warwickshire Police said it was called to Top Knot Close in Nuneaton at about 21:30 BST on Thursday after concerns were raised for the welfare of a child, said to be in cardiac arrest.

The child was taken to hospital where she later died, and her death is being treated as unexplained, the force said.

A 25-year-old woman and 34-year-old man, from Nuneaton, have been arrested in connection with the child's death.

They remain in police custody, the force said.

Det Insp Gareth Unett said: "We've launched a thorough investigation, which is very much in its early stages.

"We're keen to understand exactly what happened and would like to hear from anyone who has information."
