AN eight-week-old baby from Malvern has died.

An air ambulance landed on snow covered playing fields nearby and the baby was airlifted to hospital where resuscitation attempts continued on board.
A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: “As in all cases where there is a sudden death of a child, detectives are working with the health authorities to establish the circumstances.”
An ambulance, a rapid response vehicle, a paramedic area support officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham attended the scene along with the police, who are investigating the death.
