Police are investigating the death of a seven-month-old girl in a south-east Queensland home last week.

Emergency services were called to the home in Murgon, 175 kilometres north-west of Brisbane and 70 kilometres west of Gympie, about 9.30am on Friday.

The baby’s mother was trying to revive her when paramedics arrived. Police said the pair were home alone at the time and the mother phoned triple-0.

Paramedics rushed the baby to Murgon Hospital, where she was declared dead soon after arriving.
