Three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a toddler was found with fatal injuries.
Two men from Oldbury and Stourport, along with a woman from Birmingham, have all been arrested after the child was found at an address in Birmingham.
Police were called to a property in Beckbury Road, Weoley Castle, at 10am on Saturday morning by ambulance colleagues.
