KEARNS, Utah — A 15-month-old girl has died after she was found unresponsive in a pool in Kearns.

Authorities were called out to the area of 5600 South and 4540 West around 5:10 p.m. Friday.

Det. Arlan Bennett with the Unified Police Department told KSL that children were playing in the backyard when the child crawled into a small pool.

“The family actually had preventative measures for the pool area that we’re not sure if either another child or one of the pets opened the gate and that’s how it got access,” Bennett said.

The 15-month-old was then flown in a medical helicopter to Primary Children’s Hospital.

She was pronounced dead around 6:20 p.m.

“It’s just a tragic accident, nothing suspicious,” Bennett said.
