An inquest heard that a baby girl drowned in the bathtub while she was playing with her older twin brothers.

Sara Moosa, who was 10 months old, drowned at home in just five inches of water in August 2022.

Leicester Town Hall inquest revealed that their mother was supervising the children while the tap ran without the plug-in.

One of the brothers asked for his shark toy and the mum went to fetch it, and when she returned Sara was lying on her side in the bath with her face under the water.

The bath started to fill because a plastic toy got stuck over the hole.

Coroner Isobel Thistlethwaite summarised what happened: "Sara and her two siblings were in the bath with the water running but no plug-in.

“One sibling requested a toy. The mother returned and she noticed another toy had blocked the plug hole.

“The two siblings were standing up and Sara was on her side, under the water.”

The family immediately called 999 and a call operator instructed them on how to perform CPR.

A paramedic told the inquest they arrived to find Sara downstairs on the kitchen counter, where her family was attempting to revive her.

The medics took over and brought Sara to an ambulance, before taking her to Leicester Royal Infirmary with her mum.

But Sara could not be saved and she was pronounced dead at the hospital on August 14 last year.

A post-mortem examination concluded she died from drowning.

Miss Thistlethwaite recorded a conclusion of accidental death, adding: “No concerns were raised by the police following an inspection of the scene.”
