A baby has died in hospital after going into cardiac arrest at Legoland Windsor.
The five-month-old was rushed to hospital on Thursday (May 2) after becoming unwell at the popular theme park. He has since died, and his family are being provided with support.
A 27-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of child neglect.
Police have since launched an appeal for anyone who was queueing for the Coastguard HQ ride between 11:30am and 12:45pm.
DC Zoe Eele said: “We are investigating a distressing incident involving a very young child at Legoland Windsor earlier this week. Firstly, our thoughts are with the family of the boy who sadly died in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest. We are supporting them as best we can at this extremely difficult time.
“We are working closely with the team at Legoland Windsor Resort but would like to speak to anyone who may have information about this incident, specifically anyone who was queueing for the Coastguard HQ boat ride between around 11.30am and 12:45pm. Get in touch either by calling 101 or via our website, quoting reference number INC-20240502-0977.
“Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or via its website. We have made an arrest in relation to this incident and are not looking for anyone else as a suspect. I would ask for the public to please avoid speculation about the incident and to respect the boy’s family at this deeply upsetting time.”
