10-month-old boy drowns in tub accident Wednesday
Officials from the Bowie Police Department and Child Protective Services are investigating what is believed to be the accidental drowning death of a 10-month-old boy at a local home Wednesday.
Police Chief Guy Green said at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday the Montague County Sheriff’s Office received an emergency call for a possible child in water at 1403 Jackson in Bowie.
Bowie Emergency Medical Services arrived and started performing CPR on Hayden Garza, the son of Jesse and Brooke Garza. The parents were in the front yard with the baby waiting for the EMS.
The child was transported to Central Hospital of Bowie where he died about 90 minutes later. Justice of the Peace Karen Reynolds ordered an autopsy.
Investigator Randy Hanson said Thursday the preliminary results are consistent with drowning, adding “at this point we feel it was more than likely accidental.”
Green said they were told the child had gotten into a whirlpool-style bathtub which contained standing water with some cleaning product. When the family found the child, they took him out of the water attempting to revive him. See his obituary in the weekend News.
The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
