Las Vegas police and homicide detectives are investigating the death of a toddler in the northwest part of the valley.
Police received a call just before 6:30 p.m. at the 7800 block of Clarkdale Drive, near Vegas Dr. and Buffalo Dr. from a mother reporting that her child had drowned in the bathtub.
Responding personnel transported the 3-year-old to Summerlin Hospital Pediatrics, but the child later succumbed to the drowning.
