Seymour police revive child after near-drowning

Seymour police are reporting that they revived a toddler who fell into a swimming pool Sunday, nearly drowning.

The incident happened at about 8 p.m. Sunday night when officers were on another call and heard a woman screaming a few doors away. A 1-year-old child had escaped from a back door left open by older children and fallen into the small, above-ground pool. The child was not breathing, when Sgt. Brandon White began CPR while Officer Seth Sage drove to Schneck Medical Center.

The police say that the child is in stable condition and has been transferred to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis.
