An eight-year-old girl has drowned in a swimming pool at her home in Rosendale.

In a news release, Andrew County Sheriff Bryan Atkins said dispatchers received a 911 call Tuesday at 5:15pm. When his deputies arrived at the home on County Road 40 in Rosendale, they found the mother performing CPR on the unresponsive child in the yard near the pool.

Deputies and paramedics continued resuscitation efforts and the girl was transported to Heartland Regional Medical Center. She was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later.

She was a student at North Andrew R-6 School.

Atkins says no other details will be released until an autopsy is completed and the incident is reviewed by the Child Fatality Review Board.
