A 2-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical condition after being found in a pool this afternoon at a home near Flamingo Road and Jones Boulevard, an official with Las Vegas police said.

Lisa Teele, a civilian supervisor with Las Vegas police’s Child Abuse and Neglect Detail, said police are investigating the incident.

“At this point in time, it would appear it’s a tragic accident,” she said.

Teele said the investigation is ongoing. She said the child’s parents were home when the toddler was found in the pool as were three other children ranging in ages from 4 to 10.
