Child drowns in home accident in Wichita

Police are investigating the accidental death of a two-year-old boy in a southeast Wichita neighborhood.

Officers were called to a home around 11:30 Saturday morning in the 2200 block of South Linden, in a neighborhood northwest of the intersection of Pawnee and Webb Road.  They found that a boy had been pulled from a swimming pool and he was unresponsive.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said the boy and his parents were temporarily staying at the home, and the boy crawled through a dog door and fell into the pool.  His father pulled him out and began CPR, but that was unsuccessful.

The name of the boy has not been released.
