HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 4-year-old boy was found not breathing with no pulse in a pool in the 1100 block of Bramble Bush Drive Thursday afternoon. The child was taken to a Wichita hospital in critical condition, according to Police Lt. Josh Radloff.

Hutchinson police officers were dispatched to the residence and were able to get the child breathing before EMS arrived, but then at the hospital, the child stopped breathing again, however, they continued to work on the child and were able to get the boy breathing again.

The child apparently lived a few houses down, with his mother going into her home to check on another child. When she came back out, she found the 4 year old missing.

The homeowner with the pool had put a hose in her pool to fill it up and was inside when she noticed the hose was out of the pool and a gate to that pool was open. She went to check on the hose and saw pants or underwear by the pool. That’s when she saw the child.

The call came in shortly after 4 p.m. and, according to Radloff, the child was still alive at last check.
