Schoolboy, 5, drowned in bath as mum wrapped presents on New Year's Eve

A five-year-old boy drowned in the bath while his mum wrapped presents in another room, an inquest has heard.

Jayden-Jay Silvester, described as a 'loving son and brother', is thought to have tragically suffered a seizure in the water before he was discovered unresponsive at his home in Waterside Drive, Blurton in the UK on New Year's Eve.

Despite his mum Lisa Johnson's desperate efforts to resuscitate him, as well as the work of paramedics and NHS staff, the little boy died at the Royal Stoke University Hospital later that day, StokeonTrent Live reports.
