Police have launched a murder inquiry into the death of a baby girl in Perths south-east
THE father of a baby girl is being questioned by homicide detectives after a murder inquiry was launched into her "suspicious" death in Perth's south-east last night.
It is understood the girl's mother found the 11-month-old baby and the child's father unconscious in their home in Pricklybark Street in Harrisdale about 10pm last night.
The distraught mother took the child to the car park of Jetts Gym on Ranford Road in Canning Vale and called St John Ambulance.
Witness Ryan Shreeve, who was at the gym at the time, told Nine News he rushed to act on instinct and "did what I could".

"I instantly dialled 000, talked to emergency services, gave them where I was, and proceeded to check the baby's pulse ... and there was nothing there," he said.
"The look in the mother's eyes ... I just wanted to ensure that this baby left alive, I knew this was not right, this was not good
Mr Shreeve told reporters he tried to console the baby's mother, but she was inconsolable.

"I've got kids ... it was just surreal and it will be something that will be etched in my head for a long time. Last night I couldn't sleep just thinking about what else and the whats and the ifs ... so it was pretty hard," he said.
The child was pronounced dead a short time later at nearby Armadale hospital.
Neighbours say they saw a man being dragged unconscious from the house between 10 and 11pm.
They said the suburban street smelled of gas.
The man, understood to be the baby's father, was taken to Royal Perth Hospital but was discharged this morning. He is now assisting police.
The Major Crime Squad is investigating the child's death.
Detectives door-knocked houses in the quiet street this morning.
Forensic investigators blocked off the street to examine the scene and were still there tonight collecting evidence.
Neighbours say the quiet couple had lived in the house for about a year.
Nine News reported that witnesses saw the baby girl and her father at their home earlier in the day, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The next time they saw the house firefighters were at the scene and the street smelled of gas.
Nine News reported police were not ruling out the possibility the tragedy was a murder-suicide bid. Neighbours say the couple had lived in the country for about six years and travelled to and from Malaysia.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 13 14 44.
