Three-year-old girl drowns in bathtub after mother leaves her unattended for a few minutes
The authorities said on March 7 that a 3-year-old girl in Decatur died after she was found unresponsive inside the bathtub at her family home. The officials at the medical examiner's office in Tarrant County have identified the child victim as Eve. The little girl died on March 5 afternoon, which was four days after she was found unresponsive in the bathtub by her mother. A ruling connected to her death is still pending an autopsy.
Officers from the Decatur Police Department responded to the family home at around 11:53 a.m. on March 1 after a woman reported that she found her toddler daughter underwater in the bathtub. Rex Hoskins from the Decatur PD told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in a telephone interview on March 7: "The mother put her child in the bathtub and then walked into another room to tend to two other kids. She came back and found the child face-down in the bathtub."
