SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Scottsdale police are investigating a drowning incident involving a toddler.
Officers received the call for help Monday morning from a home near Scottsdale and Thomas roads.
Dispatchers were told the call was for a “baby not breathing” and instructed the callers to perform CPR. It was later learned that the call was related to a drowning incident.
Emergency crews took the child, identified as a 2-year-old boy, to a pediatric trauma hospital for treatment. He died at the hospital, police say.
The child reportedly drowned in a pool at a neighbor’s home.
Video from the scene showed the pool did not have a safety fence surrounding the water.
The incident is under investigation.
