MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 4-year-old girl drowned in a pool in northeast Miami-Dade on Thursday.
It happened at a home near the 20200 block of Northeast 15th Avenue, in the county’s Ives Estates area, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities said they rushed the girl to Jackson North Medical Center, where she was later pronounced dead.
A neighbor told Local 10 News’ Samiar Nefzi the home is an Airbnb and believes more family members of the girl arrived there overnight.
Earlier this year, Local 10 reported on Florida’s Residential and Pool Safety Act, which requires residential pools to have safety features such as barriers, fences, or self-closing gates to help prevent young children from accessing the water.
No other details were immediately released.
