A five-month-old baby has tragically passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest at Legoland Windsor on Thursday. The infant had been rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, his injuries proved too severe, and he died on Monday. The police have said that the incident was a “neglect incident,” and an investigation is ongoing.
A 27-year-old woman from Witham, Essex, has been arrested for neglecting a child to cause unnecessary injury. She has been released on bail until July 26th, and the police are currently not searching for any other suspects. The police are urging anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward and assist with their investigation.
“We are supporting [the family] as best we can at this extremely difficult time,” said Det Con Zoe Eele of the Thames Valley Police’s child abuse investigation unit. “We would ask for the public to please avoid speculation about the incident and to respect the boy’s family at this deeply upsetting time.”

Emergency responders are being thanked for their quick response, and guests are being thanked for their cooperation.
