Four-year-old girl drowns in swimming pool at Marionville home


(From the Aurora-Marionville Police Department)

Last night, AMPD responded to an address in Marionville after a report of a 4 year old female being found unconscious in the home’s swimming pool. 

Officers with AMPD, Marionville Fire, and Mercy Ambulance all responded and desperately tried to revive her. She was transported to Mercy Hospital in Aurora from the scene where she tragically was pronounced dead.








As per normal protocol, AMPD is conducting a full and thorough investigation into this incident. At the time of this release, there is no indication of any wrongdoing and this appears to be a tragic accident.

First and foremost, all of AMPD’s prayers are with the family during this horrible time. Second, we pray for healing for the family and the community. Lastly, we want to thank Marionville City Fire, Mercy Ambulance, Mercy ER staff, and our communications personnel who all did whatever they could along with our staff to try to keep this little angel with us. Thank you for doing what you do, even through the pain of knowing we can’t always save everyone.
 
Please join us in prayer for this family as they try to navigate through this. It’s incomprehensible to anyone that hasn’t gone through it. But we’ve seen our communities come together before, and the strength you give people is palpable.
