(MENAFN) An Australian woman who was facing charges for the brutal murder of her three-year-old daughter has tragically passed away in custody, just days after being found unresponsive in her prison cell, authorities confirmed on Monday.
Lauren Flanigan, 32, was charged on Tuesday with the stabbing death of her young daughter at a residence in Moore Park Beach, located over 300 kilometers north of Brisbane, Queensland.
On Friday, Flanigan was discovered unconscious in her cell at the Brisbane Women's Correctional Center and was immediately transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Queensland Police Services revealed on Monday that Flanigan succumbed to her condition on Sunday night.
Set to face court in July, Flanigan had not yet declared her plea regarding the murder charge.
