PHOENIX (AP) - A 4-year-old Phoenix boy is dead after his parents found him face-down in a backyard pool.

The boy's mother started looking for him Thursday evening after he did not come when she called him.  The boy had been playing in the yard earlier with his two older siblings.

His parents pulled him from the water, but he was unresponsive.  His mother started CPR and called 911.

Paramedics rushed the boy to the hospital, but it was too late.  It is unclear how long the child was in the pool.
