Toddler found in garden pond dies | |
(1 day later) | |
A three-year-old boy has died in hospital after being found floating in a garden pond in Birmingham. | |
The toddler was found on Saturday evening in the garden of a house in Anderton Park Road, Moseley, an hour after he was reported missing. | |
Police officers administered CPR to the child at the scene before he was taken to Birmingham Children's Hospital, where he died just before midnight. | |
The boy was visiting relatives when he went missing, neighbours said. | |
'Tragic accident' | |
Police were called at 1626 BST after the boy went missing from an address in Coppice Road, Moseley. | |
The garden of the detached home on Coppice Road backs on to the garden in Anderton Park Road, where the boy was found. | |
The owners of the property on Coppice Road did not want to comment. | |
A 67-year-old neighbour said he understood the boy had been playing with his cousins when he disappeared. | |
"The children were playing when he apparently got lost. | |
"He does not live on this street - he was visiting the house with his parents. He must have got through the gardens." | |
A police spokesman said: "West Midlands Police sends its sincere condolences to his family. | |
"It was a tragic accident." |
