A toddler in the Eastern Cape in Addo has drowned in a 20-litre drum of water.

It is alleged that his mother was intoxicated and was sleeping at the time of the incident.

Apparently a friend of the mother's arrived at the house and found Randall Louw in the drum. She could not waken the mother and had to run to the neighbours for help.

Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Priscilla Naidu said "according to the neighbours, the couple's five-year-old son died about five months ago due to natural causes. An inquest docket was being investigated".
