Gauteng: At 15H59 Friday afternoon Netcare 911 responded to reports of a drowning in Montana Tuine, Pretoria.
Reports from the scene indicate that an 8-year-old male had fallen into a residential swimming pool.
A 15-year-old neighbour had seen the child unresponsive in the pool and alert the family in the property.
The child was pulled out of the pool where they provided first aid treatment to the child.
When a Netcare 911 Emergency Care Practitioner arrived on the scene a full advanced life support resuscitation was initiated.
Sadly the patients condition rapidly deteriorated and he was sadly declared deceased on the scene.
