Four-year-old girl has drowned in a “tragic accident”

The young girl was submerged in the bath water for quite some time, according to a paramedic.

A four-year-old girl has drowned in a bath at a Western Sydney home.

Police are investigating the death after the girl was found unresponsive in the bath around 6:15pm on Tuesday in her West Hoxton home.

Ambulance officers worked desperately to save the girl, performing CPR and rushed her to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition.

They were able to briefly revive the girl, but a NSW Police Force spokeswoman said she died a short time later.

She had been submerged in water for some time, an NSW Ambulance officer said.

Although officers from Green Valley Local Area Command are investigating the death, a police spokeswoman said it was most likely a “tragic accident”.

Forensic officers and police remain at the scene while the police prepare a report for the coroner.
