  "account": "A toddler's tragic death in Suffolk was the subject of an inquest in Ipswich, where it was revealed that Noah Woods had left a playground through a gap in the fence. The inquest, opened and adjourned by Assistant Coroner Jyoti Gill, heard that Noah had gone missing on September 15th and his body was found the following day in Decoy Pond, near the River Stour. CCTV footage showed Noah playing with a relative nearby before he disappeared. A major search involving thousands of people, including police divers, helicopters, and dog units, was conducted in the following 24 hours. Noah's body was discovered five meters from the pond's edge, entangled in submerged tree roots at a depth of 1.8 meters. The coroner described his death as very sad and tragic, and it was not being treated as suspicious. Noah's father paid tribute to his son on social media, expressing that they would miss him greatly.",
