A four-year-old girl tragically drowned in a swimming pool when her mum popped to the loo with her brother.
Little Sarah Oliveira’s seven-year-old brother needed to go to the toilet as they played in the private pool so their mum Gisele Oliveira took him inside the house.
It was during this time that Sarah began struggling to stay above the surface of the water.
When Gisele came back outside she made the horrific discovery of her young daughter face-down in the pool at the property in São José das Laranjeiras, São Paulo State, Brazil.
The desperate mum rushed Sarah to the Beneficent Hospital Association of Maracaí but the youngster tragically died a short time after arriving.
Her family have paid tribute to her on social media. Gisele said: “Our life is no longer the same. You were everything to us.
“Your departure was a shock. Today, I still cannot accept that this happened.”
Little Sarah was buried at São José das Laranjeiras Cemetery on the morning of 12 December.
It is unclear if the local authorities are investigating the child’s untimely passing.
