HOUSTON \u2013 A young child has died following a drowning incident Monday afternoon in the Cloverleaf area, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.<\/p>\n
Deputies with the Harris County Sheriff\u2019s Office were called to the 900 block of Nancy Rose around 12:30 p.m. after reports of a child found unresponsive.<\/p>\n
Investigators say the child\u2019s mother reported her son had been playing outside alone when she lost sight of him and called 911. Deputies and community members began searching the area, including the use of a drone. Authorities said the child was last seen wearing only a diaper.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, a neighbor reported seeing the child walking through the area. Authorities believe the child may have climbed over a privacy fence and entered a nearby backyard pool.<\/p>\n
When deputies arrived, they located the child unresponsive in the water. Sheriff Gonzalez said deputies immediately began life-saving efforts.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur deputies quickly ascended into the location and were able to pull a small child from the water,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cThey feverishly attempted to administer life-saving measures by way of CPR. They didn\u2019t necessarily feel a pulse, but they wanted to do everything they could.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gonzalez added that one deputy entered the pool to retrieve the child, while another deputy assisted with CPR efforts at the scene.<\/p>\n
Despite those efforts, the child was pronounced dead at approximately 1:41 p.m., authorities said.<\/p>\n
Investigators say it remains unclear how long the child had been in the water.<\/p>\n
Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators continue to process the scene as they work to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident. The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
