Tucson, Arizona | Published: 06.22.2009
A 17-month-old boy nearly drowned Monday after wandering outside an open back door and into the family’s pool on the Southwest Side.
The boy’s 9-year-old sister found the boy struggling in the water and pulled him from the in-ground pool on the 6500 block of South Portugal Circle, near West Valencia Road and West Ajo Highway, said Tracy Koslowski, spokeswoman for the Drexel Heights Fire District.
The boy’s mother called 911 and performed some rescue breaths on her son.
The toddler was alert and conscious when taken to UMC, said Deputy Dawn Barkman, Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman.
This is the seventh water related incident in Pima County this year, two of which were drownings, Koslowski said.
