Paramedics took the child to a trauma centre in serious condition.

Police said it’s not clear how the girl fell from the balcony and how high up it was.

In an update Tuesday, police said they are not treating this as a criminal investigation and it is not considered suspicious. They also correct the girl’s age, having previously said she was six years old.
