A 4-YEAR-OLD girl has died after being found unresponsive in a bath at her home.
Cops and emergency services were called to an address in the Llangunnor area of Carmarthen, Wales, on February 20.
Cali Marged Lewis-Mclernon was found in a bath after being thought to have had a “cardiac arrest”.
The tot was rushed to Glangwili Hospital in Wales, but sadly died in the early hours of the following morning.
Police have launched an investigation which is ongoing.
A post mortem was carried out at the hospital a week later, the results of which have not yet been confirmed.
One woman, aged 41, has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and has since been released on bail.
An inquest into Cali’s death was opened by Paul Bennett, the senior coroner for Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire this morning.
Hayley Rogers, Coroner’s Officer for Dyfed-Powys Police, told the hearing 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”.
