Gran's heartbreaking screams after finding 'beautiful' granddaughter face down in garden pond after frantic search

A GRAN screamed out "she's here" after finding her two-year-old grand-daughter face down in a garden pond, an inquest heard.

The toddler was playing outside the cottage in Beck Row, Suffolk on February 23 when her grandfather Mr Peck, 50, lost sight of them both. Violet’s family immediately began searching for her and her grandmother found her lying face down in the chilly 20-inch deep water of the duck pond.The inquest heard Violet was afraid of water and did not usually go near it, but the area may have been slippery due to recent rain.

This is also known as dry drowning, Mr Parsley said, and would have happened with "that first breath in of very cold water".
