NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (AP) - Authorities have identified a 2-year-old Noblesville boy who drowned in a neighbor's pool.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said Monday that Drayson D. White was found in a neighbor's pool on Saturday night after wandering away from the supervision of his aunt. The aunt said she was mowing a lawn when she noticed the toddler was missing. He was found 15 minutes later in the neighbor's pool and pronounced dead at an area hospital.
The sheriff's office says the pool was surrounded by a fence but investigators believe the boy accessed the pool either through a portion of the fence that was loose or a gate that was not secure.
