Quebec provincial police say they were alerted just before 11 a.m. after the young girl was found unconscious in an above-ground pool.Sgt. Claude Denis says there were attempts to revive the girl during transport to the hospital. Police didn't have any details about the circumstances surrounding the death, but an investigator was assigned to the case.
Denis says it serves as a sad reminder for people to take precautions around water and be extremely vigilant, because a fraction of a second could mean a drowning. As of Thursday, Quebec's Lifesaving Society reported 35 drownings since the beginning of the year, compared to 27 at the same time last year.
