Tragic: Toddler Found Dead in Bucket of Water Under Kitchen Sink

Tragedy has struck the home of a couple after they found their 16-month-old toddler Muhammad Fahil Finaz Nor Azuan, drowned in a bucket of water in their kitchen on Monday night.

According to reports from NST, the unfortunate incident was discovered by the toddler’s mother about 10.40 pm, after noticing that her son was not with his father (pictured above carrying the body) and his 3-year-old sister.

Nor Azuan Azali, 33, who happens to be the boy’s father, said his wife thought that their son was with him in their room but later sensed something wrong as she did not hear his voice.

”We later found him with his head and half his body submerged inside a water-filled bucket under the kitchen sink.

”My wife and I tried to resuscitate him but failed. We then rushed him to the Tuanku Ampuan Najihah Hospital for treatment,” the father said.

Sadly, doctors confirmed that the child had died and the body was taken to the forensic unit for post-mortem.

Meanwhile, Jempol district police chief Superintendent Noorzainy Mohd Noor said police have classified the case as sudden death.
