'Loving' schoolboy tragically drowned in bath as mum wrapped presents

A five-year-old boy described as a 'loving son and brother' drowned in the bathtub while his mum wrapped presents in the next room, an inquest has heard.

Jayden-Jay Silvester, aged five, is believed to have suffered a seizure while in the water before he was found unresponsive at his home on New Year's Eve.

Despite his mum, Lisa Johnson's, desperate efforts to resuscitate him at the Blurton, Stoke-on-Trent, home, as well as the efforts of NHS staff and paramedics, the little boy tragically died at the Royal Stoke University Hospital the next day, as reported by Stoke-on-Trent Live.
