WorkSafe will not be laying charges in relation to the drowning of a two-year-old boy at a Napier council pool, Stuff reports.
The boy was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after a "drowning incident" at the Napier Aquatic Centre in Onekawa on December 5 last year.
He was
transferred to Starship Children's Hospital where he died four days later.
A WorkSafe spokeswoman told Stuff an investigation into the matter was completed in mid-August and no charges would be laid against any party involved.
New adult-to-child ratio rules were introduced at the pools in June, taking effect from July 1.
