Late Monday afternoon in the Montreal borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro, a 5-year-old lost his life after having fallen into a pool while playing in the backyard.
His 10-year-old boy brother also fell into the pool while attempting to rescue his younger brother. He remains in hospital in serious but stable condition.
Resuscitation maneuvers were performed before ambulance attendants and police arrived by the adults who found the children.
