A "happy" little girl collapsed and died moments after telling her dad she wanted to "play with toys". Two-year-old Agnese Vaivars was walking to the playroom with her father when she suddenly fell to the ground and passed away.
Now tributes have been paid to the "happy little girl" following the tragedy. And flowers, cuddly toys and candles have been left outside her home in Goole, East Yorkshire in England.
Yorkshire Live reported how little Agnese had been suffering from flu at the time of her death. Ilona Okorokova, the family's neighbour, has set up a GoFundMe page to support them at this time and give the two-year-old the best send-off.

Ilona said: "We are doing it [the GoFundMe page] for our neighbour whose daughter died. She was the only baby they had and they are both 45-years-old so will never have any more babies.
"They are so heartbroken, she was just two years old. Her dad explained that she had said she wanted to go to her playroom and as they had walked from the living room to her playroom where all her toys were kept. She had taken a couple of steps when she suddenly she fell down." She said the little girl's eyes closed and her body went cold.
Gvido Vaivars, Agnese's dad, has said his daughter had been suffering from flu at the time of her sudden death. Ilona added: "She was vomiting all the time and had a high temperature."
He added: "She was such a happy little girl, her parents were very happy. Then, suddenly the bad news happened. We would like to help Agnese's parents raise funds for the funeral and as much assistance as possible so that her parents can see off their daughter on her last journey with dignity."
