According to the sheriff’s office, an investigation is underway into the death of a 3-year-old who was discovered in a pool at a residence in Caldwell County. Deputies are currently looking into the matter.

According to investigators, early Sunday morning, a boy was discovered in an above-ground pool at a residence on Woodmont Court South in Lenoir. According to firefighters who responded to the call in the Gamewell community, the child had already been removed from the pool by the time they arrived on the scene.

According to family members, a young man managed to leave his house during the night and was discovered by his mother the following morning in the pool, as reported by Channel 9’s Dave Faherty.

In a recent CMPD report, it was stated that a 14-year-old boy drowned in a golf course pond.

According to Faherty, the mother of the boy stated that a child-proof safety latch was installed on the back door and that they intended to construct a fence around the pool, which is approximately 4 feet deep, as well as an alarm. According to her statement, there was a gate located on the back porch that led to the pool.

“Don’t blink,” warns the speaker. According to the speaker, “If you blink, your kids can be gone.” In a statement, it was advised to ensure the security of your pool. As per the advice of experts, it is recommended to ensure the security of your house. The speaker expressed their desire to prevent other families from experiencing the same pain.

According to deputies, the investigation is still ongoing and they are currently awaiting the results of the autopsy.

Gamewell firefighters are urging families to take precautions before their children go swimming this summer.

According to Chief Michael Brewer, it is important to “secure your gate.” The reporter advises to ensure that one is aware of the individuals entering and exiting a location. According to the interviewee, it is obvious that children should use proper floatation devices.

As the weather gets warmer, first responders are emphasizing the importance of lake safety.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the leading cause of death for children between the ages of 1 and 4 years old.

According to reports, Kevin Jones is the owner of an above-ground pool that is enclosed by two distinct fences. According to him, there exist floating alarms that can be installed in a pool to notify owners in case of someone falling in.

According to him, any disturbance on the water surface, no matter how small, will trigger the alarm due to the high sensitivity of the system. The individual stated that if they had children, they would certainly acquire the item in question.

Over a decade ago, Caldwell County modified its pool regulations, mandating the installation of fencing for in-ground pools. As of now, there are no regulations pertaining to above-ground pools that have been reported.
