(WICHITA, Kan.) — The drowning of a northeast Wichita toddler renews the need for home pool owners to review their safety and security measures as the long, hot summer continues.
One-year-old Marcino Hall died Tuesday after the little boy somehow got out of the house and fell into the backyard swimming pool in the 5600 block of Coe Drive.
Family told Eyewitness News they believe Marcino may have been trying to reach for a football that had been left in the water.
Wednesday, Eyewitness News spoke with Ultra Modern Pool and Patio about simple and affordable steps owners can take to keep pool areas secure.
