Toddler drowned in front of his cousin after falling into lake on day out
Ms Birch told Lewis to jump in but he replied, saying: "I can't swim".
When firefighters arrived at the scene, they found the water was waist or chest height with Greyson just 3m from the edge of the jetty. Lewis later told police "if I had known that I would have jumped in" but said the water was too cloudy to tell the depth. One emergency responder told the inquest: "[Lewis] stated it wasn't his fault and he did everything he could.
"When he turned to pull his trousers up he heard a scream and a splash. [Greyson] was thrashing about, waving his hands above his head. He rang his aunt and then the ambulance.No charges were brought against Lewis as there wasn't "sufficient evidence" to to prove he had willingly neglected the toddler.She said: "This is obviously an extremely sad case. Any case involving a young child is a tragedy - especially for the parents.
