Baby tragically drowns in bath after mum left room to find toys

A 'smiling and happy' 10-month-old baby died while in the bath with her two brothers in a tragic accident. Little Sara Moosa drowned in just five inches of water after her mum stepped out of the room for a few moments and a plastic toy got stuck over the plug hole, causing the bath to fill.

Sara's mum had put the baby in the bath beside her two brothers and the tap was running without the plug in while she bathed her children. She left the room when one of her son's asked her to get his shark toy and she went to go find it, the Mirror reports.

When she returned, Sara was lying on her side in the bath with her head under the water, an inquest at Leicester Town Hall heard. The youngster was sadly pronounced dead on August 14 last year at Leicester Royal Infirmary.
