Five-month-old baby dies after ‘neglect incident’ at Legoland Windsor

A five-month-old baby who suffered cardiac arrest at Legoland Windsor last week has died in hospital.

The child’s condition was critical following the incident on Thursday, May 2, at around 1 p.m.

A 27-year-old woman from Witham, Essex, was arrested on suspicion of child neglect to cause unnecessary injuries on Friday.

The woman is free on bail until July 26.

Police said they were not looking for any other suspects and urged the public to “avoid speculation about the incident and to show respect for the boy’s family at this deeply troubling time.”

The little boy died in hospital on Sunday, police said today.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Zoe Eele of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit said: “We are investigating a disturbing incident involving a very young child at Legoland Windsor earlier this week.”

“First of all, our thoughts are with the family of the boy who sadly died of cardiac arrest in hospital. We are supporting them as best we can during this extremely difficult time.

“We are working closely with the team at Legoland Windsor Resort but would like to speak to anyone who has information about this incident, particularly anyone who was queuing for the Coastguard Headquarters boat cruise between 11:30am and 12:45pm.”
