Staff Reports Eastvale – A four-year-old boy nearly drowned in an Eastvale apartment pool this past week. On March 2, 2013 at around 1:38 p.m., a four-year-old boy slipped under the water in an apartment swimming pool, while his father was distracted for several seconds. The boy was pulled from the water by his 11-year-old brother and CPR was initiated by off-duty paramedics who were also at the pool, according to a Riverside Sheriff press release. Paramedics arrived to the apartment complex at the 12000 block of Gathering Place and transported the boy to Loma Linda Medical University where deputies say he is expected to make a full recovery. The Eastvale Police Department encourages parents and caregivers to practice safe pool techniques by maintaining constant visual contact when children are in or near the water.
