Paramedic probe over boy's death

Lewis was taken to hospital in the early hours

Ambulance bosses have started a "full investigation" following the death of a two-year-old boy who was examined by paramedics after a fall.

Ambulance staff were called to Lewis Urmson-Brown's home in Runcorn, Cheshire on Sunday night - but he was not taken to hospital.

They were called back about eight hours later and the toddler was then taken to Warrington Hospital, where he died.

North West Ambulance Service said it was investigating the circumstances.

Cheshire Police confirmed on Tuesday that they were no longer investigating Lewis's death, and were preparing a file for the coroner.

We are undertaking a full investigation which is normal procedure in any serious incident Ambulance service spokeswoman

Detectives started an inquiry after a post-mortem examination revealed the toddler died from a "traumatic injury to the head".

A 39-year-old woman and 41-year-old man - believed to be his parents - were questioned and later released without charge.

"Investigations into the death of the two-year-old have concluded that his death was a tragic accident," a Cheshire Police spokeswoman said.

Lewis sustained the injury in a fall, thought to be in a playground near his home in Halton Brook.

An ambulance was called and he was examined but it was decided he should not be taken to hospital.

"Subsequently, a call was made at 0313 BST on Monday, a crew attended and the patient was taken to Warrington Hospital," an ambulance service spokeswoman said.

"We are undertaking a full investigation which is normal procedure in any serious incident," she added.
