GEORGINA, Ont. - Police are investigating the death of an infant found in a backyard hot tub north of Toronto.
York region officers were called to a home in the town of Georgina just before 8:30 a.m. Sunday on the report of a child not breathing.
Emergency workers who went to the home attempted to revive the one-year-old, who was removed from the hot tub by a family member.
The baby - whose identity is not being released - was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Officers say there is no evidence of criminality and no foul play is suspected.
