Heartbreaking accident
Once it had been some time since they had last seen the boy, his ‘family went to look for him and found him inside of the pool, unresponsive,’ authorities added.
Police said, ‘at this time it appears to be a heartbreaking accident.’
Authorities have yet to release the child’s name.
In their statement, police emphasized the seriousness of accidental drowning, which is ‘a leading cause of unintentional death’ among children ages 14 and under.
‘The Roswell Police Department wants to remind our community that drownings can occur in mere seconds, and stress the importance of following best practices in drowning prevention,’ they wrote.
