BUCKEYE, Ariz. (AP) - A baby boy pulled from a pool in Buckeye last weekend has died just days before his second birthday, according to authorities.
Police officials said the child was found at the bottom of a pool on July 19 when the family was inside the house and lost track of the boy, who was underwater for an unknown length of time.
When paramedics arrived, the child was unresponsive and family members were giving him CPR.
Police said the boy was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died on Monday.
They still are investigating how the child got outside and into the pool, which they say did not have a protective fence around it.
The name of the child hasn’t been released.
