The child was in the pool with parents and siblings. The sheriff’s office said approximately 15 to 20 people were in the pool. At some point, the child went underwater and became unresponsive.
The sheriff’s office said the child was later pronounced dead. There are some conflicting notes regarding the child’s age. While the Sheriff originally tweeted the child’s age to be 4-years-old, during a press conference, an investigator told KPRC 2 the child was 3 years old.
