CHANDLER, AZ — A young boy has died after he was pulled from a Chandler city pool Sunday night.

Chandler fire officials say they were called to the Hamilton Aquatic Center near Arizona Avenue and Ocotillo Road for a reported drowning.

They arrived and found that lifeguards had pulled a 4-year-old boy from the pool.

He was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, but later died.

Officials say the aquatic center was rented out Sunday for a private event and was attended by up to 80 people.

The facility was reportedly staffed with 18 City of Chandler on-duty lifeguards.

The boy was found unresponsive in the pool after an undetermined amount of time.

An investigation remains ongoing.
