A 2-year-old boy drowned Thursday night in a pond outside of his house on Terry Road. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office reported the child was flown by medical helicopter to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont where he was later pronounced deceased.
Deputy Janois Grizzaffi said the sheriff’s office was called about 8 p.m. to the house in the 1500 block of Terry Road off FM 105 outside of Vidor. Deputies arrived to see people performing CPR on the child and the medical helicopter was called.
Family members told deputies the boy had been playing with another siblling inside the house. A short time later, they did not see the child and they started looking for him. They found him in the pond.
