The father of a boy who died in a flood-hit town in Surrey had been pumping water from his house since January, it has emerged. Kye Gbangbola is in a serious condition in hospital after being taken ill in Chertsey. His seven-year-old son, Zane, was taken to hospital in a serious condition but later died. Surrey Police have said the cause of his death is unknown.The government has said it's an apparent case of carbon monoxide poisoning - thought to be from fuel-driven pumping or drying equipment. Mr Gbangbola spoke to BBC Surrey in January after the River Thames burst its banks in Chertsey. He criticised the lack of planning to prevent floods in the area.
