Toddler drowns in accident
It is understood that the two-year-old boy wandered into the River Blackwater on Monday morning. His family, from Clonmel, are members of the travelling community and were staying near the river with other families at the time.
Gardaí in Waterford confirmed yesterday that the child was pronounced dead at the city’s Regional Hospital just before 1pm on Monday. A postmortem was later carried out.
