Brooksville 1-Year-Old Drowns In Family Pool
Tampa Bay Online
updated 9:50 a.m. MT, Tues., May. 27, 2008
A 1-year-old boy wiggled through an open but blocked sliding glass door and drowned in the family's Brooksville pool Monday morning.
The Hernando County Sheriff's Office today identified the boy as Bisher Hiba, 4571 Golf Club Lane.
The sheriff's office said the boy's three siblings, ages 10, 12 and 14, were inside the house watching the child while the parents were in another part of the home about 11 a.m.
Two of the siblings were watching a movie while a third did homework, the sheriff's office said.
The sliding glass door to the pool was open but blocked by a plastic barricade. The boy was able to maneuver between the barricade and door and made his way to the pool, the sheriff's office said.
The siblings noticed the boy was missing and found him in the pool. They pulled him out, and the father, Rodwan Hiba, tried to revive the child until help arrived.
The boy was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, where he was pronounced dead, the sheriff's office said.
The sheriff's office is continuing to investigate but said it appears the drowning was an accident.
