Girl drowns in bathtub

A FOUR-YEAR-OLD girl has drowned in a bathtub at a western Sydney home in what police say is a “tragic accident”.

The girl was found unresponsive in the bath at a property in West Hoxton about 6.15pm on Tuesday.

She had been submerged in water for some time, an NSW Ambulance spokesman said. Paramedics performed CPR before taking her to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition, but she died shortly afterwards.
