Toddler dies in apparent accident after being found unresponsive in neighbor’s pool

A toddler has died after being found unresponsive in a neighbor’s pool in what authorities believe was a tragic accident.

The incident occurred early Saturday evening on the 3400 block of Brackenfern Road in the Katy area. Harris County deputies determined that a male toddler was found unconscious in the pool of his family’s next-door neighbor.

There was a family gathering at the toddler’s family’s residence, and deputies believe the child found an opening in a fence to gain access to the neighbor’s pool. After being found unresponsive, the toddler was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.

Just over two hours after his initial report, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed that the child had died on X.
