The child, known among his Singapore neighbours as Ah Boy, was found with his head in the bucket in the bathroom of the one-room flat, The Straits Times said.
The water had been collected for a bath. The boy apparently managed to lift himself by holding onto the side of the bucket before falling face first into the water.
He was taken to a hospital Wednesday near his flat, where he was pronounced dead.
Neighbours said he was looked after by his grandmother when his parents were not at home.
