One Year-Old Boy Drowns After Falling Headfirst Into Bucket Of Water

A young boy died after he drowned falling headfirst into a bucket of water while his mum went to the market.

Ryan Gabriel Vieira, aged 15 months, was left with his two brothers when tragedy struck at the home in Sao Sebastiao do Passe, Brazil.

It is not clear why the bucket of water was left near the youngster. It is not clear if it was left out for cleaning or to play with.

Temperatures in the area had soared to 31C on that day.

His two brothers, whose ages are unknown, desperately tried to save him when they realised what happened.

They called for a neighbour but were unable to do anything for little Ryan.

Police are currently investigating what happened, and have not made a statement ye
