PHOENIX — A 14-month-old boy was pronounced dead on Saturday after being found by family members in a backyard swimming pool.
Avondale Fire Department officials say they were called to the home near 109th Avenue and Thomas Road shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday.
It was unclear how long the boy was in the water, which was reportedly murky and did not have a fence around it.
After life saving measures were administered on the scene, the victim was transported to Banner Estrella Hospital in extremely critical condition and later died.
