FORT SMITH (KFSM) – Fort Smith police are investigating the death of a two-year-old girl after she was admitted to a local hospital with “suspicious” injuries last week, according to the Fort Smith Police Department.

Family members held the funeral Thursday for Naomi Nichols, who died Oct. 15 after she was taken by emergency crews to Sparks Regional Medical Center in Fort Smith with what police called “suspicious injuries.”

Family members told 5NEWS the girl was injured after falling down stairs. Another family member slipped a 5NEWS reporter a note saying foul play was involved.

The girl’s two siblings were taken into Arkansas Department of Human Services custody following her death. Detectives are investigating the situation and have interviewed people associated with the case, according to Fort Smith police.

Police said no one has been arrested, and the investigation is ongoing.
