This evening, our thoughts and prayers are with the family of a four-year-old who has died following an accident in Cumbria, England.
According to The Mirror, the little boy was staying at the Old Park Wood holiday park, at Grange-over-Sands, when an unspecified ‘incident’ occurred at a swimming pool yesterday.
Police were contacted immediately, and the child was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was said to be in ‘critical’ condition.
