2-year old Grant County Girl Drowns In Pool

Grant County authorities are investigating the apparent drowning death of a two-year old girl.
Sheriff’s deputies say they received a call from a woman in the 2000 block of East Bradford Pike Wednesday evening, saying her granddaughter had been found inside a swimming pool and was not breathing.  Police and paramedics rushed to the residence and found the grandmother performing C-P-R on the child.  She was rushed to Marion General Hospital where a pulse was found and the girl was flown to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.
But Riley officials say the girl died Thursday, about 12-hours after she arrived.  The name of the child has not yet been released because out-of-state family members have not yet been notified.
Investigators say the grandmother had been watching the little girl while her father was at work.  She apparently wandered away and climbed a ladder into the pool while the grandmother was washing dishes.
Grant County Sheriff’s deputies are continuing to investigate the case.
