A devastated father has recalled the horrifying moment he discovered his four-year-old daughter drowning in the bath after she suffered a suspected 'underlying epileptic fit'. Little Harriet Richardson, who has now been left with brain damage as a result of the tragic incident, asked her dad Jamie to run her a bath after she came down with chickenpox on January 5.
However, tragedy struck while Jamie went to get the youngster from pyjamas and discovered she had suffered a seizure in the bath while he was gone and went under the water. The young girl who is 'susceptible to febrile seizures' had her temperature checked before she went into the bath to make sure she would be alright in the water, the ECHO reports.
Speaking of the awful moment, Jamie said: "I couldn't believe this was happening to me and I couldn't believe this was happening to Harriet. I scooped her out of the bath, she was in respiratory arrest. It was horrific."
