PHOENIX — A 2-year-old is dead after being pulled from a hot tub in west Phoenix Saturday afternoon.

Phoenix fire officials say they were called to the area of 59th Ave and Thomas Road just after 1 p.m.

First responders arrived and found a 2-year-old boy unconscious and not breathing.

The child was rushed to the hospital where he died.

Fire officials originally said the boy was pulled from a backyard pool but Phoenix Police have since clarified to say the boy was pulled from a jacuzzi. They have also since corrected the boy's age, as he was originally reported to be one year old.

Police say nothing has been found to believe the drowning was suspicious or to indicate foul play. They believe this was a "tragic accidental drowning."
