Arlington Heights boy, 4, dies after being pulled from Indiana pond
A 4-year-old Arlington Heights boy died Friday after being pulled from a retention pond in northeastern Indiana, authorities said.
The Allen County coroner's office on Monday identified the child found Friday in the Fort Wayne pond as Dhanush Kurra. The child was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. An autopsy was performed, but the cause and manner of death were pending.
Rescuers responded to reports that a child was in the pond and family members pulled him out.
WANE-TV reported investigators said the child had apparently wandered away from a home and was missing for about 20 minutes before being found. The death is under investigation.
According to an online obituary, Dhanush was born in Repalle, India, to Sreedhar and Aparna Kurra. Funeral services for Dhanush will be in Fort Wayne, Ind.
