Two-year-old girl dies after drowning in Yuma pool

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) says a two-year-old girl died Friday after drowning in a pool.

YPD says they and the Yuma Fire Department (YFD) responded to reports of the girl drowning "at a residence in the midwest area of the City of Yuma" last Thursday, June 5, at around 7:40 p.m.

YFD crews saw the girl was removed from the pool and a bystander was performing CPR. After additional crews arrived and performed "Advanced Life Support skills," the girl was then taken to Onvida Helath.

YPD says the girl regained a pulse before she was flown to a Phoenix area hospital.

The investigation is still ongoing, and if anyone has any information on this case, they are encouraged to call YPD at (928) 373-4700 or 78-CRIME at (928) 782-7463 to remain anonymous.
