Cops have launched an investigation into the death of little Charlie, after she was found at a house in Adelaide, Australia, alongside her five siblings aged eight to 29.
South Australia Police Deputy Commissioner Linda Williams said today the girl's death "is being investigated as a case of criminal neglect causing death,”news.com.au reports.
The young girl was found unconscious at the home in Munno Para in the early hours of July 15 and was rushed to the Lyell McEwin Hospital after paramedics found her in an unresponsive state.
She tragically died soon after from suspected malnutrition.
Her other five siblings aged eight, 10, 13, 14 and 15 and 29 have been removed from the house with authorities investigating criminal neglect charges in relation to them as well.
