A MOTHER has been left angry after an inquest failed to explain the death of her two-year-old daughter.

Rubie Hancock Tyler died on December 29 in a case which has baffled medical science.

Leanne Tyler, aged 22, told News Shopper: "That night there was nothing wrong with her.

"She was playing with her toys for Christmas and having fun.

"She woke up during the night at about 3am and I made her a drink.

"I put her back to bed and when my partner found her in the morning she was still in the same position as when I left her.

"What can you say about that? You put her to bed and she's fine and you wake up in the morning and she's gone."

Rubie was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich, but she could not be resuscitated.

Ms Tyler moved with her partner Nicholas Hancock, aged 21, from Abbey Wood to Swetenham Walk, Woolwich, after her child's death.

And she said it has affected the way she feels about the safety of her other daughter, four-year-old Kacie-Lee.

She said: "My kids are my everything.

"The whole world could be caving down around me but it would mean nothing if my kids were okay.

"Rubie and her sister were like twins, they wore the same sort of clothes, they shared a bedroom.

"Now I find myself worrying about my other daughter when she goes to bed."

Ms Tyler said she took Rubie to the doctors four or five times in December with flu-like symptoms but they were unable to help.

And an inquest at Southwark Coroners' Court on July 16 was unable to establish the cause of death.

Ms Tyler said: "That's it now, there's nothing I can do at all.

"The only thing that could be wrong was the abnormal rhythm of her heart.

"It's made me angry because I need something to blame but there's nothing I can blame.

"She was healthy, everything was fine so I thought.

"With all the science they've got these days you'd think they could find out what was wrong with her.

"I can't get over it because I'll never know the cause."

Pathologist Dr Michael Ashworth, who carried out the post mortem, said: "She was well nourished, appropriately grown for her age, and there was no obvious cause of death.

"There was no pneumonia.

"There was nothing wrong with the brain.

"I don't have a satisfactory explanation."

Recording a verdict of death by natural causes, coroner Dr Roy Palmer told the parents: "I'm awfully sorry but it is sometimes the case that we search for and don't find an answer, and are just puzzled."
