MESA, AZ — A 1-year-old boy has died after being pulled from a pool in Mesa Sunday evening.

Officials say the child was pulled from the water in a backyard pool near South Horne and Southern Avenue around 7 p.m.

Police say the child had been living in a trailer in a backyard with his parents when he was put down for a nap. The child's mother went inside the home to use the restroom, and when she came back out, the boy was not in the trailer.

The boy was found in the pool and removed from the water before 911 was called.

The child was taken to the hospital in critical condition but later died, officials said Monday.

No foul play is suspected at this time.
