Investigations are continuing into the death of the 7-year old British-born Nigerian kid - Zane Gbangbola, who died in a flooded Chertsey property in England's Surrey county last Saturday.
According to Britain's Environmental Agency (EA), the initial analysis of samples taken from the basement of the property has "concluded there is nothing in the water that may explain the cause of the incident."
The Agency said: "Yesterday evening, water samples were obtained from the basement of the property by Environment Agency staff and analysed overnight with support from Thames Water.
"Based on the results of the analysis, we have concluded that there is nothing in the water samples that may explain the cause of the incident.
"The Environment Agency is continuing to assist on the ongoing police enquiry."
Surrey Police Chief Superintendent - Dave Miller, said: "The investigation into Zane's tragic death is ongoing - our officers are following various lines of enquiry and we are continuing to work with a number of partner agencies.
"The information we have received from our partners at the Environment Agency in relation to the preliminary water testing gives an indication that there is no link between the quality of water at the location and the boy's death.
"The cause of death may take several days to determine and until we have confirmation of this it would be inappropriate to speculate.
"However, I hope that this development provides some reassurance to local residents."
Zane was pronounced dead at St Peter's Hospital on Saturday, after he and his parents were found unwell at their home around 3.30am.
Zane's father, 48-year-old Kye Gbangbola, and mother Nicole Lawler, 36, were also hospitalised and are receiving treatment.
A post-mortem examination is expected to take place in the coming days.
The Sickle Cell Society of which Kye is the Chair of the Board of Trustees in a statement said: "The Sickle Cell Society is deeply saddened to hear of the death of 7 year old Zane Gbangbola, son of the Society's Chairman, Kye Gbangbola. Our thoughts are with Kye and his family during this difficult time... We extend our deepest condolences to Kye's family and wish him and his wife a quick recovery."
