dailyrecord.co.ukA Scots family have been left heartbroken after their 'amazing' five-year-old daughter died suddenly following what they thought was a vomiting bug.Isabella Grace Docherty, known as Bella, tragically passed away on Monday, February 13, hours after she began complaining of feeling sick.Paramedics battled in vain to save the youngster, however, she died at Wishaw General Hospital a short time later.Devastated mum Pamela Little, from Newarthill, told the Daily Record she is struggling to come to terms with her daughter's death as they still have no idea why she died.The 38-year-old said: "Her post-mortem came back as inconclusive.
We don't know why this happened and it's killing us inside."We are awaiting results of further tests which we really hope will give us much-needed answers as to what happened to our girl."Mum-of-three Pamela said there were no 'red flags' before the Glencairn Primary nursery pupil's shock death.She said: "She began vomiting suddenly earlier on in the day but it was nothing majorly concerning."We cancelled her swimming lesson that night as we thought she had picked up a tummy bug because we knew a lot of her friends from nursery had been ill too."She threw up a few more times and was a little agitated but she didn't have a temperature so we weren't worried. "She was still asking for food, including a McDonald's and was bossing us around.
