Grief: James Rushton said his family had been left devastated

The tragedy happened on January 6.

The off-duty PCSO called emergency services and stayed with the girl until help arrived.

The death was not being treated as suspicious.

Mr Rushton, who has launched a fundraising appeal for his granddaughter, said: “She had got herself up and ready for nursery because she couldn’t wake mummy.

“Being the intelligent young girl that she is, she decided to make her way there alone.

“A few yards from her house, she was spotted by an off-duty officer and his wife and asked where she was going so early.

“At this point, realising something was wrong, the officer asked her where she lived.

“Only being yards from her house, she led him to the back door she had come out of.

“The officer entered the house and took a look around, while his wife kept her occupied.
