Baby drowns to death while mother chatted with friend

A mother has been found guilty of gross negligence and manslaughter after her baby drowned in the bath at their home.

Sarah Elizabeth Morris, 35, has been convicted by a court over the death of the 13-month-old child named Rosie.

The baby was in the bath with her twin at their home in Flintshire, Wales, while her mother was on the phone with a friend.

The call lasted 47 minutes while the twins were in waist high water. When she returned to the bathroom, her daughter was not breathing. Morris called a friend for 10 minutes before calling 999.

Neighbours helped to try to resuscitate the baby until paramedics turned up and the infant was taken to a hospital where she was confirmed dead, according to Daily Mail UK.
