A four-year-old girl has died after a wall fell on her at her family home in Bath. Police were called to a house in Haycombe Drive at around 4pm on Friday. It is understood that Surranna Stonestreet died when the wall, which her father Karl was knocking down, collapsed on top of her. An ambulance crew and paramedics arrived on scene to find Surranna unconsious and not breathing. CPR was carried out by paramedics, but she had suffered a cardiac arrest. Surranna was taken to the Royal United Hospital in the ambulance, with her parents following in a rapid response car. Staff were standing by to receive her, but she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Surranna's mother Nicola paid tribute to her daughter on Facebook. She wrote: "R.I.P BABY UR GOING TO B SOOOOO MISSED UR WERE MY WORLD. NOW SLEEPING WITH THE ANGELS LOVE U DARLING XXXX" Neighbour Ken Marks said Mr Stonestreet was kocking down a 6ft-tall breeze block wall when the accident happened. He said: "I was there about two minutes after the tragedy. I heard the screams and came running. "Karl was knocking down an old shed wall, massive it was. Six-foot by six-foot, at least. "He hit it with a sledgehammer and then all of a sudden she popped her head round. "She came from nowhere, and it all came tumbling down on her. She had no chance. Karl is devastated - he had no idea she was there until it was too late." An emergency service operator gave Mrs Stonestreet instructions as they waited five minutes for the ambulance to appear - but her injuries were too severe. Mr Marks, a retired builder, added: "It was hell for the whole family. For all of us here on the estate. "We're all devastated to be honest. The family are so gutted. It was such a traumatic experience, we're devastated. You can't put it into words." Detective Sergeant Peter Knight, from Bath police, said: "This incident has now been investigated and it appears to have been a tragic incident with no suspicious circumstances." The case has now been passed on to the Avon coroner's office.
