Police stated that “the child was at home with his mother when she reportedly left him lying on a bed inside the house and went to use a toilet located nearby.”
Upon her return, she discovered that the child was no longer on the bed.
“A search was conducted in and around the house and the child was subsequently found lying face down and motionless in a pool of water,” the police report detailed. The pool, estimated to be approximately three feet deep, was located “about 100 feet away from the house.”
The unresponsive toddler was immediately removed from the pool and taken to the Karasabai Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
No marks of violence were seen on the child’s body, which is at the Karasabai Public Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
