The baby suffered a cardiac arrest at the theme park on Thursday

A five-month-old baby seriously injured in a neglect incident at a theme park has died in hospital, police said.

The baby was taken to hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest at Legoland Windsor on Thursday and died on Sunday.

A woman, 27, from Witham, Essex, was arrested on suspicion of neglecting a child to cause unnecessary injury. She was released on bail until 26 July.

Police want to speak to anyone who was queueing for the Coastguard HQ ride on Thursday between 11:30 BST and 12:45.

Det Con Zoe Eele, of Thames Valley Police's child abuse investigation unit, said: "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."
