A British baby girl has died in Turkey after she suffered breathing difficulty during a family holiday, as doctors were unable to save her life.

A six-month-old child has died while she was on a holiday with her family in Turkey, after suffering from breathing difficulty.  

According to the Turkiyegazetesi, the incident happened while the British family was staying at a five-star hotel in Serik, Antalya. 

The family contacted the hotel staff for help after realising that their 6-month-old baby named Elizabeth Coffey was having trouble breathing. 

Emergency services were then informed and a medical team was sent to the hotel.

The girl was then rushed to the hospital, but despite several efforts, doctors were unable to save her life.
