A toddler has died in hospital after being found unresponsive in a paddling pool during this week's hot weather, say police.
The 23-month-old boy was discovered in the pool at a property in Somercotes, Derbyshire, at about 1.30pm on Wednesday.
He was taken to the Royal Derby Hospital, where he died "despite the best efforts of staff", a spokesperson for Derbyshire Police said on Friday.
It was one of several water-related tragedies in the UK recently as temperatures climbed past 25C this week, with two other incidents claiming the lives of teenage boys.

The incidents have led to water safety reminders and warnings from the emergency services and other organisations.
In a statement, Derbyshire Police said: "Officers were called to reports that a 23-month-old boy had been found unresponsive in a paddling pool in Nottingham Road, Somercotes, at around 1.30pm on June 2.

In another incident this week, a 13-year-old boy died after he got into difficulty in the River Calder in Brighouse, about 4.5 miles north of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
The boy had been playing with friends when the tragedy occurred at about 2.30pm on Tuesday.
His body was later recovered.
The boy was named locally as Thomas (Tomi) Solomon, who played for Bradford City's under-13s football side, YorkshireLive reported.
On the afternoon of May 28, Samuel Haycock died at Ulley Reservoir, just south of Rotherham in South Yorkshire.
A family friend said the 16-year-old jumped in to try to save a friend, even though he couldn't swim.
Samuel's body was later recovered by an underwater search team.
Following the incidents, fire and rescue services in Yorkshire urged people not to go swimming in reservoirs, rivers or canals during the hot weather.
Stewart Nicholson, of South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, said last week: "Too many young lives are needlessly lost in open water every year.
"Our message couldn't be clearer - please, please stay out of the water and stick to swimming pools or organised swimming groups instead."
A British father died in Portugal on Thursday after he went into the sea to save his two daughters, aged nine and 12, after they got into difficulty in the water, local media reported.

A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDP) spokeswoman told the Mirror: “We are providing support to the family of a British man who has sadly drowned in Portugal. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.”
