A two-year-old boy drowned after wandering into his neighbor’s backyard pool as his mother slept.
Marcus Anthony Hall’s father, Anthony Hall, was at a loss for words over the death of his son, nicknamed Mar Mar, on Wednesday afternoon.
‘I don’t know how to explain this but i will try the best way,’ wrote Hall in a GoFundMe page.
‘There was a incident where his mother was sleeping and the kids snuck out of the house…
‘Marcus climbed into a Swimming pool and drown…
‘This story break my heart every time i have to tell it…
‘He was only two years old this is not fair to baby Marcus.’
The toddler left his family’s home the city of Oregon in Ohio while his father was at work. He and his four-year-old brother were alone with their sleeping mother, Hall said.
A neighbor saw one of the boys around 10.34am and called 911, WTVG reported.
‘There’s a baby outside in just a diaper chasing a dog,’ said the caller. ‘There’s no adults.’
About an hour later, the toddler’s mother called police.
‘I got woken up to the cops over here knocking on my door because they said that kids were running around outside, so when I woke up, only my 4-year-old here,’ she said, according to the TV station.
The mother confirmed to cops that her two-year-old was missing.
Mar Mar was found at the bottom of a neighbor’s pool. A cop dove into the pool and another officer performed CPR, before rushing him to a hospital. He was pronounced dead there.
A complaint about the pool has been filed with the city, arguing that it was required to have a fence around the perimeter.
Lucas County Children Services is investigating the death.
The GoFundMe page had raised more than $2,550 as of Monday evening.
‘Please anything help i just want my baby to be able to rest,’ Hall wrote. ‘I cant imagen what was going though his mind during all this.’
