Five Year Old Drowns In Pool Behind Vacant Home In Foreclosure
- A 5-year-old girl drowned [last] Saturday afternoon in a swimming pool behind a vacant home that is in foreclosure, police said. [...] Police said the home where the child's body was found is two doors down from the home at which the children were staying.
***
- Neighbors told deputies that the home where the child drowned had been vacant for about four months. The swimming pool was covered, but the cover had caved in under about 5 feet of water. Neighbors told police that the pool had been in that condition for a while and that they were concerned about the safety of children in the area because the back yard had only a partial fence.
