Boy, 2, drowned in family pool as his parents got ready for their wedding day

A two-year-old boy drowned in a family swimming pool as his parents prepared for their wedding day, an inquest has tragically revealed. Edward ‘Teddie’ Rainger was discovered lying lifeless at the bottom of the pool in Langdon Hills, Essex by his distraught mother in July last year. Emergency services were called and the little boy was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Today an inquest heard how the youngster died as a result of a tragic accident while his parents prepared for their wedding day.

The court heard how Teddie had been left to play with his brother on outside decking for no longer than 10 minutes when the accident occurred. During the hearing at Chemlsford Coroner's Court Caroline Beasley-Murray told Teddie’s distraught mother and father: 'There was about 10 minutes when you weren’t with them. 'You were busy getting ready for your wedding, is that right?' Essex Police investigated the tragic death but reported no suspicious circumstances and no criminal charges were brought.
