Body of missing two-year-old boy found in Grand Union canal

Police were called to West Cotton Close at around 6pm on Saturday (July 28) after the alarm was raised. A search was then undertaken by officers, family members and local residents with the toddler's body being recovered just 30 minutes later.

Officers attempted to resuscitate the boy before the ambulance service arrived. He was taken to Northampton General Hospital before being transferred to Glenfield Hospital in Leicester where he was pronounced dead.

The death is not being treated as suspicious and Northamptonshire police are now speaking to the boy's family to build up a picture of what happened before the body was found in the Grand Union canal.

Flowers have been left at the scene and officers are providing the family with support.

Last week, 15-year-old Daniel McCullagh's body was found in Northamptonshire's River Nene after he was reported missing from home.

The incident led to his father Gabriel McCullagh issuing a plea to authorities to make safety improvements around waterways.

'The last thing I want to happen is to find out this has happened again because nobody has sat up and done anything about it,' he told the BBC.
