By Beacon Staff November 12, 2007

KALISPELL (AP) – A 3-year-old boy in West Glacier drowned in a bathtub, but a seizure was a contributing factor, the Flathead County coroner’s office said Monday.

Caleb Connors was in about a foot of water, said Dave Leib of the coroner’s office.

Authorities were contacted Saturday. The child was flown to Kalispell Regional Medical Center, and then to a hospital in Missoula.
