Cumbria's coroner releases first images taken in aftermath of Poppi's 2012 death


These are the first pictures ever published of the home where Poppi Worthington died including the double bed where she was found unresponsive and bleeding after her father 'probably' sexually abused her. The bed is shown strewn with towels, pillows and kitchen paper with a half-drunk baby bottle on the bedside table in Barrow-in-Furness in 2012. Cumbria's coroner has today also released images of the Peppa Pig pyjamas she was wearing on the night, the sofa where paramedics tried desperately to revive her, her pink babygrow and Hello Kitty cot blanket. It came as the doctor who examined her body after her death told Poppi's inquest in Kendal today she suffered severe bruising, cuts and a leg fractured in two places. Dr Alison Armour said she also found tears and bruising around her bottom and was 'strongly suspicious of child abuse' straight away. Last week Poppi's father Paul avoided 252 questions about her death - including why her DNA was found on his genitals - but chose to answer one to describe the 13-month-old as a 'bully'.
