A man is due to face court today (Tuesday 28 September, 2021) charged with manslaughter over the alleged death of a toddler at Singleton 16 years ago.
21-month-old Jordan William Thompson was found unresponsive when his mother returned from running errands in March 2005.
He'd been left in the care of her then partner.
Jordan's mother rushed him across the road to Singleton Hospital but he could not be revived.
Police were told Jordan was found face down in a bathtub, however a post mortem found high levels of anti-depressant medication in his system.
After a $100,000 reward was offered for information, detectives arrested a 49-year-old man at a Doonside home on Monday afternoon.
He's been refused bail to face Blacktown Local Court today.
