Toddler Found in Damascus Pool Dies

A Clackamas County sheriff’s spokesman says a 20-month-old girl found unresponsive in her family’s swimming pool in Damascus has died.

Sgt. Adam Phillips said family members called 911 and began CPR after they pulled little Elona Sirotinskiy from the pool Wednesday morning. She was flown to a Portland hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Sheriff’s officers and the state medical examiner’s office are investigating the death.

Phillips says the child’s parents are cooperating in the investigation.

Damascus is southeast of Portland.
