Grand Rapids police were called to the Sawmill Inn about 5 p.m. Wednesday where the toddler was found in the hot tub after wandering away from a birthday party. First responders attempted to stabilize the child who was rushed to a Grand Rapids hospital and then transferred to St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth where he was later pronounced dead.

Grand Rapids Police Chief Jim Denny tells the Duluth News Tribune there's no indication of gross negligence in the death of Tony Lee Scovel of rural Bovey.
