Drowning Accident Kills Toddler

News sources say that a toddler died this week during a drowning accident.  Police say that the family of the boy found him floating in a five-gallon water bucket at their residence.

Officers told reporters they received a call from the one year old boy's mother at 5:21 PM.  When they arrived at the scene, they took the boy to Community Hospital East where he died at 6:30 PM.

According to authorities, the boy's mother and his three siblings were at home when he somehow wandered away and found the bucket in the utility room of his residence.

Sgt. Paul Thompson said, "The child was out of sight for a few minutes and apparently stumbled into a bucket."

The family had been using the large bucket to drain the water heater before the drowning occurred.
