Diabetic girl, 9, needing ‘urgent medical treatment’ goes missing from hospital with her parents and could slip into a coma at any moment
The Metropolitan Police has issued a plea for information after girl vanished from St Mary's hospital in Paddington, London, shortly after arriving to see medics
A NINE-YEAR-OLD girl who requires urgent medical attention went missing at a hospital in London, with cops launching a major appeal for her whereabouts.
Cops in London issued a plea for information after the girl vanished from St Mary's hospital in Paddington on Sunday evening.
The Metropolitan Police said the girl attended the hospital accompanied by her parents and a younger brother at around 5.40pm on Sunday.
However the family left two hours later before the girl, who police believe is diabetic, was treated.
Cops said the girl had a high blood sugar count, meaning she could fall into a coma if she is not treated.
But police have since confirmed the girl and her family have been found safe and well.
