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.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
