11-year-old boy dies after drowning in pond near Grand Rapids

WYOMING (WWJ) -- The holiday weekend turned tragic for a West Michigan family after two brothers went swimming in a pond, and one of them drowned.

First responders arrived on Sunday night at a park in Wyoming -- just south of Grand Rapids -- after receiving a report that two swimmers had started to struggle in the pond.


As authorities arrived at the park, a Good Samaritan was pulling the two brothers, ages 10 and 11, from the water.

The 10-year-old was unconscious but breathing, and was taken to a local hospital for treatment, where he is expected to recover.

The 11-year-old was not breathing and didn't have a pulse. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The situation remains under investigation by authorities.
