A baby found seriously injured in a house in Fife has died.

Five-month-old Hayley Davidson passed away at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh on Wednesday afternoon.

In a statement issued through Police Scotland, her family said: "Hayley is a beautiful baby girl who was loved by everyone who met her and we, as a family, wish to be left alone to grieve at this difficult and trying time.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A thorough and rigorous investigation is ongoing as officers progress with inquiries into Hayley's death. A post mortem examination is to be arranged."

Chief inspector Adrian Annandale added: "This is an extremely tragic and sensitive case and I'd like to reassure Hayley’s family as well as the wider community that we’re conducting a robust investigation and appreciate the assistance provided."
