SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ – Authorities say a 1-year-old girl has died after she was found in a swimming pool Tuesday afternoon in San Tan Valley.

The grandmother came out a short time later and discovered her granddaughter still in the pool. The grandmother jumped into the pool, pulled the child out and performed CPR on her until emergency crews arrived.
The child was transported to a local hospital and then transported by air ambulance to Cardon Children’s Hospital in Mesa where she later died.
