Clearwater Police Investigating After Toddler Found Submerged in Pool

Personnel from Clearwater Police and Clearwater Fire & Rescue responded to reports of a pediatric drowning in the 1900 block of Douglas Avenue at approximately 8:15 p.m. on Monday, July 22, 2019.

According to investigators, family and friends were in the pool area when they entered the house to prepare for dinner.

When the group entered the home, a rear sliding glass door leading into the enclosed pool area was inadvertently left open just enough for the toddler to go through. The toddler entered the pool area through the sliding glass door and entered the water.

The toddler’s 7-year-old sister, removed her from the water. The toddler was unresponsive, and CPR was started by family members as other family members were calling 911.

The 15-month-old female toddler is in critical condition as St. Joseph Children Hospital in Tampa

Note: Clearwater Police as of Tuesday morning stated the child’s gender to be female, a correction from Monday evening.
