A three-year-old girl's cause of death is yet to be established, a court heard today.
Little Hope McGrath was found dead at a house in Austhorpe Court, Leeds, West Yorkshire, on July 30.
This morning her mother, Pippa McGrath, 47, appeared by video link from HMP New Hall before Leeds Crown Court charged with the toddler's murder.
Half a dozen female friends of McGrath watched the proceedings from the public gallery for the ten minute hearing.
McGrath, who had her blonde hair tied back in a pony tail, spoke only to confirm her name and give her date of birth.
