Your support makes all the difference.A six-year-old girl has died in hospital after being found unconscious next to the body of her father and two dogs at her home on the Isle of Wight.
Keziah Flux-Edmonds was rushed to hospital from the address in Cromwell Avenue, East Cowes on Wednesday morning, but died a short time later.
Police have issued an image of the little girl smiling and wearing a princess-style dress while clutching purple flowers.
Friends of the family say Keziah loved the main character, Queen Elsa from the Disney movie, Frozen, and would often dress up like her.
Grieving friends left bunches of flowers and cuddly toys outside the scene of the tragedy.
Keziah’s father, Darren Flux-Edmonds, who was found dead at the property, had posted a number of smiling photographs of him with his daughter over the past few months.
The 44-year-old described himself as “temporarily unemployed” and had posted a series of quotes of heartbreak and pain including one that said: “Lord, my head hurts right now.
“I have no idea what I need, but you do. Please help”.
A Hampshire Police spokeswoman said: "Darren Flux-Edmonds, 44, was found dead by officers at an address in Cromwell Avenue.
"His daughter, Keziah Flux-Edmonds, six, was found unconscious at the address and was taken to St Mary's Hospital. She died a short time later.
"Investigations into the exact circumstances of the deaths are ongoing today on behalf of the coroner and post-mortems are being carried out today.
"The family, who are being supported by specialist officers, has asked for privacy at this very difficult time and we would urge media to respect their wishes."
