DEARBORN – A two-year-old girl is dead after drowning in her neighbor’s pool on Friday morning. 

The incident occurred around 10:25 a.m., when Dearborn Police responded to the 2600 block of Boldt  to a report of a child falling into a swimming pool and was unresponsive.

Officers arrived on scene and assisted the caller, homeowner, who was performing CPR on the child. Dearborn Rescue arrived and transported the child to a local hospital where was listed in critical condition for several hours before passing.

A preliminary investigation reveals that the victim and her three-year brother, exited their home while their parents were sleeping.  

They both managed to climb the chain link fence which allowed them access to the neighbor’s yard.  It appears the two-year old victim was able to climb the pool ladder and into the pool.  

The homeowner looked out her window and saw the child in her pool, immediately pulled her from the pool, and began administering CPR.  

The three-year old child was uninjured in this incident.  This is an on-going active investigation and is in its preliminary stages.

According to multiple reports, the parents of the two toddlers have had Child Protective Services visit their home recently. 

Dearborn Police has yet to release the name of the victim or the name of the family. 

“This is a tragic situation for all the families involved.  The Dearborn Police Department asks that you respect the family’s privacy while they tend to their daughter’s needs and we pray for a full recovery,” Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad stated.
