The gravestone of Hillary Clinton's father has been found toppled over at a Pennsylvania cemetery, in what police believe is likely to be an act of vandalism.

Hugh Rodham's gravestone is at Washburn Street Cemetery in Scranton.

The stone was reported tipped over on Tuesday, two days after Mrs Clinton announced she was running for president.

Police Chief Carl Graziano told The Times-Tribune that it is unclear how the stone fell but he suspected vandals were responsible.

"I'm not sure how else it would have fallen over," he was quoted as saying.

According to the caretaker, the stone was intact on Friday.

There has been no public comment from Mrs Clinton, who had her first campaign event in Iowa on Tuesday.

Mr Rodham grew up in Scranton, a city about 120 miles north of Philadelphia.

He owned a small textiles business in Chicago, and died in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1993 at age 82.
