A three-year-old boy has drowned in a swimming pool in the Don Mils Rd. and Eglinton Ave. East area. The child somehow found his way into the pool at a moment when there was no supervision of kids in the enclosed pool at the condominium on Dallimore Circle. There was video surveillance of the pool and police were able to ascertain that the child was in the water for about three minutes before being noticed and pulled out. Police did CPR on the child and then took him to hospital where he was pronounced dead. They say the child’s mother had briefly stepped away from the area and left him in the care of another person at the time of the incident. “His mother was present. At some point she left the vicinity of the pool area, she went to the bathroom, returned and found her son at the bottom of the pool,” Sgt. Kirwin Marshall said. CPR was not performed until seven minutes, according to police. About seven people were in the pool at the time and no lifeguard was on duty.
