A new mother was found dead in a disused hospital ward seven hours after going missing.
Amanda Cox was still in her pyjamas and slippers when she was discovered at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after giving birth last Thursday.
It is understood the 34-year-old collapsed on Monday after taking a wrong turn when returning to her room from the neonatal ward, where she was thought to be visiting her newborn son.
The keen darts player, who in 2016 reached the final 32 in the Women's World Masters, was pronounced dead shortly after being found.

Family friends said she gave birth to her son Murray last Thursday.
He was born weighing 3lb 7oz after Mrs Cox suffered from pre-eclampsia, a serious blood pressure condition which affects some women in the latter stages of pregnancy.
It is understood she had been suffering from headaches and was due to see a specialist at the hospital.
Police said they were treating Amanda Cox's (pictured) death as unexplained but not suspicious
Police said they were treating her death as unexplained but not suspicious.
Officers have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
She was reported missing around 3pm on Monday and was found at 10pm the same day.
Police Scotland said a 'sudden death' report had been sent to the procurator fiscal in Edinburgh and a full post-mortem examination would be carried out to determine the cause of death.
Mrs Cox's family in Peebles were unavailable for comment about her death.
They were said to be devastated at the news and trying to establish exactly what had happened.
A family friend said: 'Amanda had been suffering headaches even before she had been in hospital for the birth and was due to see a specialist.
'Apparently she was going back to her room for medication but took a wrong turning and came out of the neonatal ward into a disused ward.
'They think it was a brain haemorrhage or a stroke or heart attack but we will just have to wait on the post-mortem.'
The friend added: 'She just had baby Murray last Thursday as a result of having pre-eclampsia.

'After transferring from Borders General Hospital Murray seems to be doing OK, although he was just 3lb 7oz when born.'
Former Women's World Masters champion Deta Hedman posted on social media: 'Stunned to hear of the passing away of Amanda Cox so young, had many a battle on the oche over the years, my and Paul's condolences to the family. RIP Amanda.'
A spokesman for Darts Scotland said: 'So sad to hear the news that Amanda Cox has passed away. Condolences to her family from all at Darts Scotland.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
