A man has been arrested and charged with the death of his 5-year-old son, who was found unconscious in a Los Angeles bathroom Monday, police said. 

Darwin Reyes, 32, was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Juvenile Division-Abused Child Section, the LAPD said. He faces a charge of willing cruelty to a child. 

Officers responded Monday afternoon to a call about a 5-year-old boy unconscious in a bathtub in East Hollywood.
