THE sudden death of a young girl at a rural property south of Toowoomba remains a mystery with detectives yet to receive vital information in the investigation.

The three-year-old girl was found inside one of two homes on a property at Cambooya the night of November 6.

Three adults, including a 36-year-old woman believed to be the girl’s mother, were at the property when police were called about 8.20pm.

Queensland Ambulance paramedics and multiple police crews swarmed the property but the girl, whose body showed no visible injuries, was pronounced dead at the New England Highway home.

No charges have been filed.

But detectives are yet to receive the report.
