A five-month-old baby boy tragically passed away following a cardiac arrest at Legoland Windsor Resort. The incident occurred on Thursday, and the baby died in the hospital on Sunday. Authorities arrested a 27-year-old woman from Witham, Essex, on suspicion of neglecting a child to cause unnecessary injury. She has been released on police bail pending further inquiries, with a return date set for July 26.

The infant was in the queue for the Coastguard HQ boat ride at the time of the incident. Thames Valley Police are actively investigating the incident and have appealed for witnesses who were present between 11:30 am and 12:45 pm on Thursday. Detective Constable Zoe Eele of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit is leading the investigation and has emphasized the importance of withholding public speculation and showing respect for the grieving family’s privacy.

Legoland Windsor, expressing sorrow over the incident, stated that their first aid team provided immediate care before the baby was taken to the hospital. The park assures full cooperation with the ongoing police investigation and has commended the emergency services for their prompt response.

Thames Valley Police have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward, either directly to the police or through Crimestoppers anonymously. At this stage, the police are not looking for any other suspects related to this case.
