Lauren Flanigan was scheduled to appear in a Queensland court in July, facing charges of murdering her three-year-old daughter, Sophie. The tragic incident allegedly occurred at their home in Moore Park Beach, Bundaberg, just a few days prior to her court date, where she is accused of fatally stabbing the young girl.
Recently, Flanigan was discovered unresponsive in her cell, prompting her transfer to a hospital for medical care. Queensland Corrective Services confirmed that their officers acted swiftly in responding to a “medical emergency” at the Brisbane Women’s Correctional Centre. They provided assistance until the Queensland Ambulance Service arrived to transport her to the hospital.
The exact details regarding her current condition remain unclear.
