Authorities say a young boy from Nevada has drowned in an above-ground pool located in the backyard of a rural Kansas home.
The Sedgwick County Sheriff Department identified the child in a news release Friday as Chasson Carver, 3, of Las Vegas. He died at the scene. Deputies were called to a drowning at 3:46 p.m. Thursday at a residence located about 19 miles west of Wichita.
During the investigation, deputies learned the child got into the pool without the knowledge of his guardians. The sheriff's office says circumstances of the drowning are under investigation.
