A police cordon has since been lifted and flowers and a toy animal were left near the Peabody Estate building on Sunday morning.

Det Ch Insp Alison Foxwell said the death of a baby was "always an extremely tragic occurrence".
"At this stage, we believe the incident occurred within a domestic context, but we are appealing for anybody with information to come forward," she said.
A spokesperson for the London Ambulance Service said the baby was treated at the scene before being taken to a major trauma centre.
