SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) – A 3-year-old boy died Tuesday after he fell into a pond at a Georgia park, authorities said.

Savannah police responded to Daffin Park Tuesday afternoon after someone found the child in the water and got him out, the Savannah Morning News reported.

The child was hospitalized and later died from his injuries. Details on his death weren’t immediately released. It’s unclear how the boy got into the water.
