Police Master Sgt. Rutthan Guardafe, chief investigator of Police Station 9, said the victim’s parents discovered their son drowning around 7:30 a.m.
Guardafe said that the victim’s parents would often put a pail at the end of their bed to enable them to easily clean their son.
The victim’s parents suspect that their son might rolled over their bed and fell into the pail.
The baby was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead.
