Just before 7:30 p.m., first responders were summoned to a house near McDowell and Scottsdale roads in reference to a drowning. When officials arrived, the 4-year-old youngster was unconscious and not breathing, and CPR was being administered.

According to Dave Folio of the Scottsdale Fire Department, the youngster was declared deceased upon arrival to the hospital.
