2 more babies on life support after near-drowning.
Two young children who nearly drowned Thursday morning in a pool at a home in Buenaventura Lakes are still in critical condition.
One 2-year-old boy is on a ventilator at Florida Hospital South, according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. The other 2-year-old boy is on life support at Arnold Palmer Hospital.
A woman who had been watching the boys at the home in the 100 block of Guaymas Drive told deputy sheriffs that she had walked away from them for about five minutes while they were in the pool. STUPID BITCH! When she returned, the boys were unresponsive. The woman is the mother of one of the boys. She told deputy sheriffs that the other boy was the son of a friend.
Deputy sheriffs administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the boys before they were transported to hospitals. One boy was first transported to Florida Hospital in Kissimmee and the other was first taken to Osceola Regional Medical Center.
A teenager who was inside the home did not see the incident, the sheriff's office said.
Sheriff's detectives still are investigating.
edit later to add: One of two toddlers found unresponsive in a pool in Osceola County has died.
