A toddler has died more than a week after he was found lying in a pond in Wales, police said today.

Nineteen-month-old Daniel Peralta, of Ashdale Avenue, Witney, died at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool on Monday.

He was discovered in a pond in Hawarden, Flintshire on August 1.

A coroner has opened and adjourned an inquest into the death, which is understood to have been caused by brain injury due to drowning.

A North Wales Police spokesman said: “The death is not being treated as suspicious and North Wales Police is investigating the matter on behalf of the coroner.”
