A 3-year-old child who wandered away on Wednesday afternoon, drowned in a neighbor’s pool, deputies confirmed.
Little Janiah Francois, a black female, who lived in the 7500 block of Stidham Drive off Apopka-Vineland Road, fell into a neighbor’s pool, after wandering way from her residence, investigators said.
Fire Rescue officials, who responded to the home, found Janiah in the pool not breathing and were unable to revive her. She was pronounced dead at the Arnold Palmer Hospital.
Authorities are still treating this incident as an active death investigation, but foul play is not suspected.
