Toddler Pulled From Markham Pool Dies

A young boy pulled from a pool behind his Markham foster home has died.
The boy died in a Hamilton hospital Saturday, according to the Toronto Children's Aid Society.
The 18-month-old tot, whose name was never released, was discovered in the pool behind his foster family's home, in the Hwy. 7 and Wootten Way area on Aug. 9.
York Regional Police believe the tot crawled out the back door of the home and into the fenced area surrounding the pool before plunging into the water.
