MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa – An Iowa police chief says authorities have recovered the bodies of three young children who apparently drowned in a river during a Fourth of July outing with family and friends.
Marshalltown Police Chief Mike Tupper says the two girls, one 7 and the other 9, and one 7-year-old boy found Wednesday night in the Iowa River were family members. Authorities searched the river for more than three hours after they were separated from others who were swimming.
EAST ISLIP, N.Y. – Police say a 21-month-old boy drowned Wednesday after climbing into an above-ground pool in the backyard of his family's East Islip home on Long Island.
Authorities were called to the home on Laurel Ave around 12:40 p.m. after a family member found Byron McArthur at the bottom of the pool. Police said the child had climbed a ladder to get into the pool. He was taken to Southside Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A 4-year-old boy was pulled from a pool at a Queens home Wednesday evening around 6 p.m.
Christos Voulkoudis was taken to North Shore University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
