Child Drowns in The Art of Animation Pool at Walt Disney World

Sadly, a child drowned in The Art of Animation pool today according to the Orange County Sheriffs Office. The child was found around 8:00 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the hospital. According to reports the child was an out-of-town visitor and got separated from his parents, they searched for the child, who was eventually found under the water.

We have conflicting information on the age of the child. The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the child was 7 years old, and WESH is reporting he was only 3.

No other details are currently available.

Our condolences go out to the family.
