Toddler dies after falling in Newbury canal
Emergency services were called to Ash Bridge near the A339 yesterday (13 March) to reports of a woman and child in the water.
In a statement, Thames Valley Police said "Both the woman and child were recovered from the water and were taken to hospital for treatment.
"Tragically, the child later died in hospital. His family are being supported by specially trained officers. The child’s mother has been discharged from hospital.
"The death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner. Our thoughts are with the child’s family at this incredibly difficult time.
"Thames Valley Police is not currently in a position to release the child’s identity."
