Emergency crews were called to a backyard pool in Oakville, for a drowning involving two people.
A 79-year-old woman is dead after she and her 4-year-old granddaughter were found face down in the family pool. According to Halton police, they responded to a 911 call just afternoon to a home on Yarmouth Crescent in Oakville.
A neighbor pulled the 79-year-old woman from the pool, and the four-year old’s mother pulled her from the pool. The child regained consciousness shortly before police arrived.
Officers performed CPR on the grandmother but she was pronounced dead at the scene. The young girl was taken in an ambulance to the McMaster Children’s Hospital where she is currently in critical condition.
