A 3-year-old boy is in critical condition after he was found at the bottom of a Mesa pool Thursday evening, officials said on Friday.

The boy was found at about 5:30 p.m. in the 3000 block of South Del Rancho, according to the Mesa Fire Department. The boy was treated at the scene and then taken to Banner Desert Hospital.

When the boy arrived at the hospital, his heart was beating and he was breathing but he was not conscious.

There were apparently 12 adults at the home at the time of the incident, but fire officials said they did not know whether the boy’s parents were among them.
