A 7-year-old girl whose family found her floating in a pool behind a Lauderhill home Monday morning is hospitalized in critical condition, officials said.
The family members who found the girl in the screened-in pool in the 5000 block of Northwest 14th Place called 911 shortly before 9 a.m. and began CPR, said William Gordon, a spokesperson for Lauderhill Police. Relatives were still performing CPR when officers arrived and took over.
Lauderhill Fire Rescue took the girl to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, where she is on a ventilator, Gordon said.
The department’s Criminal Investigations Division is investigating.
