The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office today (Tuesday), reports an infant has died following an apparent accidental drowning in a bathtub at a condominium located at Lake Panorama. Authorities say 21-month old Sawyer Madsen, of Lincoln, NE, was found floating in a tub in a rented Clover Ridge Resort condo at Lake Panorama, on Nov. 23rd.

Sawyer, and her four-year old sibling, were placed in the bathtub with running water, and left unattended for a period of time. The older sibling was not injured. Sawyer Madsen was flown by helicopter to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines, where she died Thanksgiving Day.

Her parents were identified as Elena and Joshua Madsen, of Lincoln, NE. The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office says the parents and extended family from other states chose to celebrate the Thanksgiving Holiday at Lake Panorama, because it was a central location for members of the family. None present were from the immediate area.

An autopsy was performed on the girl. The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation continue to investigate the circumstances of the death.
