    A BABY boy has died after suffering "serious injuries" in a horror medical emergency at popular theme park Legoland Windsor.

    Medics rushed the five-month-old to hospital on Thursday after the terrifying ordeal in the queue for one of the water rides.

    Police tell SundayStar.co.uk that a 27-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect – she's been bailed until July 26.

    In a statement, Thames Valley's investigating officer, detective constable Zoe Eele, said: "We are investigating a distressing incident involving a very young child at Legoland Windsor earlier this week.

    "Firstly, our thoughts are with the family of the boy who sadly died in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest. We are supporting them as best we can at this extremely difficult time.

    "We have made an arrest in relation to this incident and are not looking for anyone else as a suspect.

    "I would ask for the public to please avoid speculation about the incident and to respect the boy's family at this deeply upsetting time."

    Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101, quoting reference number INC-20240502-0977.
