Post-mortem on Offaly child 'inconclusive'
17/09/2012 - 15:08:03The post-mortem on the 11-year-old Offaly girl found dead in her home on Saturday has proved inconclusive.
Gardaí say they will now await the results of the toxicology tests in relation to the suspicious death of Emily Barut.
Emily was the daughter of a well-known GP Bernadette Scully. Emily had cerebral palsy and required 24-hour care.
Gardaí are now waiting to interview her mother Bernadette who is in the intensive care unit of the Midlands General Hospital after she was brought there unconscious.
They say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with Emily’s sudden death.
It is understood Dr Scully’s partner Andrius Kozlovskis raised the alarm on Saturday night.
Emergency services arrived at the cottage in Tullamore at approximately 9pm and rushed an unconscious Emily and her mother to hospital. However, Emily was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
Emily’s father, Turkish-born Haluk Barut, who was separated from Dr Scully, was at the hospital over the weekend.
The investigation into her death is being led by Superintendent John Moloney who said the results of the post-mortem was inconclusive and they were awaiting the results of the toxicology report.
Dr Scully, aged 55, is well regarded in the area, running a large practice from a medical centre in Clonminch.
Locals in Tullamore described Emily as a bright and engaging child.
