WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) - Police in Connecticut say a 10-year-old girl drowned during a birthday party at a home.
Authorities say the girl was found at the bottom of a pool at a Waterbury home Saturday night. The girl was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
The homeowner, Melville Campbell, tells WVIT-TV the girl’s relative looked for her with others at the party for at least 20 minutes before they found her.
