Toddler tragically drowns on family fishing trip after being left alone 'for a minute'
A one-year-old boy has died after he tragically drowned during a family fishing trip when he was left unsupervised for ''a minute or so'' near a lake, an inquest heard. Little Melvin Gurung had been playing as his parents and other family members on the holiday were fishing for trout at Manningford Trout Fishery in Pewsey, Wiltshire, on November, 14 last year.
The boy, who was only ten days away from his second birthday, was found dead in the water just minutes later, after one of the police officers spotted his little red boots floating in 4ft reeds. "I played with him a bit and then we went to the toilet," said Amrit Gurung. "He was playing outside and I picked him up and told him I was going to the toilet and to wait there and that I would not be long. I was inside for a minute or so."
Bikash Gurung told the inquest: "He was just below the surface and was camouflaged by the tall reeds. He looked normal to me, just as beautiful as he always did. I said [to paramedics] take him to a warm place."
