A four-year-old girl died after being found unresponsive in the bath at her home, an inquest has heard.
Paramedics were called to an address near Carmarthen, Wales on the evening of February 20.
Cali Marged Lewis-Mclernon was found in the bath after being thought to have had a ‘cardiac arrest’.
The child was rushed to Glangwili Hospital in Wales, but tragically passed away in the early hours of the following morning.
An inquest into her death was formally opened by Paul Bennett, the Senior Coroner for Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, at Llanelli Town Hall on Monday morning.
Hayley Rogers, Coroner’s Officer for Dyfed-Powys Police, told the hearing that police first received a call at 5.59pm on February 20 from the Welsh Ambulance Service.
They had requested assistance due to a four-year-old girl being ‘in cardiac arrest’ having been found ‘unresponsive in the bath.’
Miss Rogers also confirmed that Cali died at Glangwili Hospital at 2.45am on February 21.
A post mortem was carried out at the hospital a week later, the results of which have not yet been confirmed.
Police have launched an investigation which is ongoing and one woman, aged 41, has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and since been released on bail.
Mr Bennett offered his condolences to Cali’s family and adjourned the inquest until a further hearing on June 30.
Following the death, a spokeswoman for Dyed-Powys Police said: ‘We received a request for assistance from the ambulance service at an address in Llangunnor, Carmarthen, at around 6pm on Thursday, February 20.
‘A child was unwell at the property, and was taken to hospital, where she sadly died a short time later.
‘One person has been arrested and enquiries are ongoing.’
