A 1-year-old toddler died in the hospital Monday night after being found unconscious in the bathtub earlier in the day, according to North Miami Beach Police.
The parents briefly left the child unattended, and when they returned to the bathroom, police say the toddler did not have a pulse.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue paramedics responded, administered CPR and were able to establish a faint pulse, police said.
They took the child to Jackson Medical Center North, where he or she died that night, police said Wednesday.
Police spokeswoman Sgt. Ingrid Ruiz said the case is “still active and under investigation,” so it is too early to say if the parents will face charges.
