A stream of flowers and heartfelt messages now surround the girl’s home in Lampeter, Cardiganshire.
Neighbor Paul Bradley, 48, told The Sun he ‘couldn’t believe it’ when he was told an ambulance was outside for Emily.
He said: ‘She was a lovely little girl, always happy and smiling. It’s just horrible, especially this time of year.
‘I am heartbroken, she was so lovely, she would knock on the door to pet my dog Seren and come for ice cream in the summer.’
A Dyfed Powys Police spokesman said: ‘We are investigating the circumstances surrounding the sudden unexplained death of an eight-year-old girl in Maes-y-Dera, Lampeter, on the evening of Thursday, December 22.
‘A 33-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of child neglect on Friday 23 December and has since been released under investigation pending an investigation.’

Police also said HM Coroner for Ceredigion had been informed and had ‘accepted jurisdiction of the case’.
A joint investigation between health chiefs and Ceredigion Council is investigating whether the girl’s death is Strep A-related.
dr. Graham Brown, infectious disease control consultant for Public Health Wales, said: ‘Our deepest sympathies go out to the family, friends and all those affected. Public Health Wales cannot comment on individual cases.
‘We are investigating links to invasive group A streptococcal disease (iGAS), a very rare complication of group A streptococcal infection.
‘While we understand that parents are likely to be concerned, cases of iGAS remain rare in Wales and children have a very low risk of contracting the disease.’
A spokesman for Ceredigion Council said: ‘Our thoughts are with the family and we are supporting them in every way we can. The council cannot comment further due to the ongoing police investigation.’
