A PROBE into the death of a child has been postponed until later this year.

Freya Murphy passed away at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital on July 28, 2018.

Freya's exact age and the cause of her death are not known.

But, the circumstances surrounding what happened are due to be examined at a fatal accident inquiry at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

The probe was due to begin this week.

However, a new date has been set for August.

A preliminary hearing took place today before Sheriff Andrew Mackie.

Fiscal Richard Hill told an earlier hearing that there were outstanding matters.

Lawyer Alan Rodgers acts on behalf of Freya's parents Martin and Karen Murphy while Mark Fitzpatrick will represent the NHS.

Lawyers Grant Watson and Laura Donald are involved in the case for two doctors.
