A two-year-old boy has tragically lost his life after being discovered unconscious in a swimming pool at a Phoenix home on Monday. The incident was first reported by FOX 10 Phoenix, which detailed the event occurring around 4:45 P.M. at a residence near 16th Street and Roeser Road.
Responding crews found a two-year-old male who was pulled from a backyard pool, unconscious and not breathing.
