Avatar

Two young children drowned in a family pool on Friday at a villa in Mirdif. 

The two toddlers, aged 18 months, and two years old, were cousins, according to The National, and drowned around iftar time. 

The children were at home with their mothers at the time of the incident – and ambulances rushed to the scene. 

The 18-month-old Emirati girl died on the scene and the 2-year-old Emirati boy died in hospital on Saturday. 

It’s believed the children were inside having iftar with their family but found an open door accessing the pool. The parents went looking for the children and found them in the pool shortly after.
