Cannabis oil dad confirms girl's death

A Queensland father who gave his cancer-stricken daughter cannabis oil 18 months ago has confirmed she has passed away.

A three-year-old Queensland girl given cannabis oil by her father in 2014 to treat aggressive stomach cancer has died.

The man, who was fined in Brisbane's Supreme Court in March, has posted on his Facebook page that his daughter passed away "peacefully" early on Monday morning.

The 32-year-old man pleaded guilty to supplying the drug by cooking it into her food in December 2014, but testified he thought it would help cure the child.
