A 23-month-old boy, Pablo Mendoza-Arrojo, died after being found in a pond on his family’s property in Port Salerno, Florida, on Tuesday evening. His mother and aunt noticed he was missing after no more than ten minutes, and relatives found him in the pond and took him to hospital, where he was pronounced dead despite efforts to save him. The sheriff’s office is investigating the circumstances.

Officials have not said whether the pond had a fence or gate, or whether anyone will face charges. The report notes that Florida’s pool-safety law requires barriers, alarms or covers for residential swimming pools, but not retention ponds, which are common because of the state’s rainfall. It also cites recent drownings of young children in ponds elsewhere in Florida and state health guidance that drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among children aged one to four.
