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.
