Minnie died on August 24 after falling from the 11-story Pickwick House, near Portsmouth city centre. After receiving a report at 6.50pm that evening, emergency services including police and the South Central Ambulance Service rushed to the scene but were sadly unable to save her. Officers later arrested a 43-year-old woman on suspicion of child neglect, who has since been released on bail until November 24. A Gofundme page has now been set up by a member of the local community, on behalf of the family, to help create a lasting memorial site for her. A message on the fundraiser from Lisa Knight reads: "My name is Lisa and I would like to raise funds for a wake and memorial bench for little Minnie who tragically passed away after falling from a balcony. "All money raised will go towards a wake for Minnie and a memorial bench in a special place for Minnie's siblings and family to go to to remember her. I am doing this on behalf of her mum (and with her permission) as you can imagine she is in no fit state to organise this herself. All donations will be greatly appreciated and spent on giving our little Minnie moo the best send off she deserves."
