Legoland heartbreak as five-month-old baby is rushed to hospital after cardiac arrest

A five-month-old baby boy is fighting for his life in critical condition after suffering a cardiac arrest at Legoland Windsor Resort.

The incident occurred around 1pm on Thursday, with police confirming that the infant is currently hospitalised.

A 27-year-old woman from Witham, Essex, was taken into custody on Friday, suspected of neglecting a child causing unnecessary injury, and has since been bailed until July 26.

Detective Constable Zoe Eele from Thames Valley Police's Child Abuse Investigation Unit expressed the gravity of the situation: "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 is in a critical condition 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 43240202786. Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555111 or via its website."
