A 3-year-old boy drowned Saturday night after falling into a pool during a family gathering in Jacksonville just west of the Intracoastal Waterway.
Police were called to a home in the 100 block of Box Tree Court about 6:45 p.m. and family members explained the boy was pulled out of the pool and taken to a fire station after he fell in, Sgt. Robert John said.
He said the boy was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The family is cooperating with the investigation and foul play is not suspected, John said.
