Reports that a baby girl in Hawera died from an object falling on her were untrue, police said.
Seven-week-old Janice Anne Shona Te Aroha Revell died under "unexplained circumstances" on February 3.
A post-mortem examination was inconclusive and Inspector Mike Coleman said earlier this month that while exact details were unknown, it appeared the death in South Taranaki was an accident caused by an object - possibly a television - falling on Janice.
This was "completely inaccurate", according to the police spokeswoman.
"The investigation is ongoing," she added.
