Boy, 5, Pulled Unresponsive from Murky Water of Unused Swimming Pool

Authorities aren’t sure how long a 5-year-old boy was in the murky, algae-filled water before he was pulled unresponsive from the unused swimming pool in Southfield about 4:45 p.m. Monday.

Firefighters rescued the boy from the pool, which hadn’t been used for years, after a 15-minute search using poles, Southfield police told WWJ/CBS Detroit.

The boy was not breathing and was rushed to a local hospital. His condition remains unknown.

The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear. Authorities received a 911 call about a child possibly falling into a swimming pool at the home, located on Nine Mile and Berg roads.
