The Bradley County Sheriff’s Office continues the investigation after a three-year-old child died Thursday while being transported to SkyRidge Medical Center.

The boy’s mother, Tasha Moses, called 9-1-1 just before three o’clock to report a possible drowning involving her children, ages 3 and 5. The call came from her father’s home at 851 Armstrong Road.

Deputies quickly discovered there was a second location involved as the children had been taken from 879 Keith Valley Road to Armstrong Road because there was no phone there.

The victim, three-year-old River Bates was transported by ambulance to SkyRidge Medical. His brother, five-year-old Leland Bates, is being treated at T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital after being transported by LifeForce.

At this time the investigation is ongoing by the Criminal Investigations Division.
