Authorities are investigating the death of a 1-year-old boy whom rescue workers found not breathing when they arrived at a Waconia home about 9 p.m. Thursday.
Gabriel Hajicek, 1, and a 3-year-old sibling were in the bathtub together when their mother left the room to fetch a towel, authorities said. She returned to find the baby not breathing.
While the case is under investigation by the Sheriff's Office, Carver County Sheriff's Cmdr. Jeff Enevold said, "This looks like a tragic accident."
When authorities arrived, they tried CPR but failed to revive the child, who was taken to Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia, where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy was performed Friday, but no results were released by the Minnesota Regional Coroner's Office in Hastings.
