Two-year-old girl shown on CCTV hours before sudden death

Chilling CCTV footage shows a two-year-old girl being carried by an adult in a sling carrier just hours before her ‘suspicious’ death.

The child of Jessica and Adam Hanbury, who has not been named, died on December 29 after being taken to hospital in Mackay, Queensland.

Newly released footage shows the child being carried on a harness with a woman and several other young children in the United Chemist in Oak St, Andergrove in Mackay between 3.50pm and 4pm – just hours before she was declared dead. 

Detectives are hoping to speak to people in the footage, as well as any who visited   Coles Supermarket on the same street between 4pm and 5.30pm that afternoon.  

Faces of the Hanbury family have been blurred in the footage, police said. 

The two-year-old had four older siblings. 

The family of seven had moved to Mackay, some 970km north of Brisbane, in early 2020 and settled in the town’s north.

Queensland Police Detective Acting Inspector Chris Eaton has previously said the little girl was unwell in the days prior to her death. Police have not confirmed if she was sick or injured.
