HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – A child was rushed to a hospital Friday afternoon after he had a seizure at TY Park's Castaway Island water park in Hollywood, park security guards said.

Authorities have not released the age or identity of the victim, but paramedics were seen entering the hospital with a young child on a stretcher.

Security guards at the park told Local 10 News that the child had a seizure while in the water, and lifeguards jumped in and pulled the child out.

Just this past April another incident was reported at the same location.

In that case, a 6-year-old boy was taken to a hospital in critical condition after he was found facedown in three feet of water.

That boy did survive.
