The woman and child who drowned in Collingwood Tuesday have been identified as Tiffany Gong, 34, and her daughter Chloe, 5, of Markham. The drownings occurred at the outdoor swimming pool of the Mountain Springs Lodge Resort in the town of Blue Mountains around 7:30 p.m. The husband, Yiting Gong, said his family and his parents had been at the resort for a two-day vacation. Mr. Gong said his wife and daughter went to the pool by themselves but 10 minutes later he went to the pool and found people from the resort trying to revive his wife. He said his daughter must have jumped into the pool and his wife went to help her when they both went under. He believes someone from the resort pulled his daughter out but didn’t notice his wife had gone under.
