A 7-year-old girl with multiple medical conditions, including epilepsy, tragically drowned in a backyard pool in Deltona, Florida.

Minutes later, the girl was found submerged in the deep end of the pool and was pulled out by family members, who performed CPR until emergency responders arrived. Despite efforts, the girl was pronounced dead at AdventHealth Orange City. Authorities are investigating the exact cause of death, considering her medical history as a possible contributing factor.
