GECARI CARROLL - 5 yo - Phoenix AZ

The Phoenix Police Department said a boy
thought to of gone missing Saturday night was pronounced dead after he
was found submerged in a swimming pool he was last seen playing in.
The discovery ended a search for the 5-year-old boy after family
members reported him missing about 6:30 p.m. Family members told police
that Gecari Carroll had been playing with a group of children at an
apartment complex pool when he went missing.
After searching for about 10 minutes, the family called police,
according to the Phoenix Police Department. Responding officers searched
the pool and believed the child had walked away when they didn't see
him in the water, police said.
The department then started a wider search of the area that included a
Phoenix Police air unit and going door to door at the apartment complex.
Additionally, the police called in department detectives and FBI
agents, which Phoenix police said is standard protocol in a missing child case.
The boy was found when a department dive team performed a sweep of
the pool and found Gecari at the bottom. He was transported to an area
hospital, where Phoenix police said he was pronounced dead.

Grief, guilt and regret were shared Monday by everyone involved in a sad incident Saturday in which a 5-year-old Phoenix boy drowned.

The boy, Gecari Carroll, lay dead at the bottom of a swimming pool in an apartment complex near Bethany Home Road and Interstate 17 for hours Saturday night as relatives, police and residents searched for him all around the pool and complex.

A police spokesman said the county medical examiner on Monday ruled that the boy's death was "accidental drowning."
