1-year-old girl drowns in pool at Jensen Beach home
JENSEN BEACH — A 1-year-old girl drowned in a pool at a Jensen Beach home the afternoon of July 1, according to law enforcement and rescue officials. Just after 3:30 p.m., Martin County Fire Rescue received a call about a toddler found in a pool in the 200 block of Northeast Flax Terrace in Jensen Beach, according to Fire Rescue spokesperson Cory Pippin. He said Martin County Sheriff's Office deputies were first on scene. Fire rescue crews arrived shortly after and took over medical treatment and began the process of preparing the girl for transportation. The call came from the girl's grandmother initially reporting a missing child, Sheriff John Budensiek said. While on the call, dispatchers asked her if she had a pool and if she had checked it for the child. He said she went out and looked around the area of the pool and did not notice her grandchild, but moments later dispatch heard her screaming 'Oh my God' several times before the phone line cut off. The girl was transported to Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital in Stuart. She was pronounced dead, sheriff's spokesperson Christine Christofek said. "There is no way to express the grief, the despair, and the hopelessness of doing CPR on an infant child," Budensiek said. "Our deputies, these fire rescue people, these nurses have all took turns shedding tears after doing their best to save a life." The Sheriff's Office was still investigating the house the evening of July 1 and "trying to piece everything together," he said. "This is three drownings in three weeks," Budensiek said. "These are horrific incidents that we're trying to process." On June 14, Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the 3400 block of Southeast Hawthorne Street in Stuart regarding a 5-year-old boy who drowned in his neighbor's swimming pool, according to the incident report. On June 13, the Martin County Sheriff's Office responded to a home in the 9000 block of Southeast Mars Street in Hobe Sound regarding a 2-year-old girl who drowned in her family's swimming pool, according to the incident report.
