A two-year-old boy who fell into a garden pond in Staffordshire with his twin brother has died.

George Bostock and his brother Harry were found in the water minutes after they went missing from their large gated home in the Staffordshire village of Tean on Monday evening.

Harry was released from the University Hospital of North Staffordshire on Wednesday, but George was put on a life support machine.

Staffordshire Police said on Friday that George had died. The boys were found in a pond at the back of a house near the family home in Breach Lane following a desperate search.

On Wednesday, their parents Berdine and James Bostock expressed their "sincerest thanks and gratitude" to those who helped rescue them, including father-of-two Craig Lazenby who pulled them from the water and performed CPR on the pair.
