LOXLEY Ala. A near-drowning of a child sent multiple emergency agencies to a home on Longview Drive Tuesday evening, July 29th, 2025, at around 6:30 p.m.
The small child was said to have been found under water in a swimming pool and not breathing. Someone at the residence quickly pulled the child from the water.
Loxley police and fire departments, and an ambulance were dispatched to the home, and when they arrived on the scene, they found several people were assisting with resuscitating the child.
The child was said to have been breathing before being transported to an area hospital.
Near-drowning is defined as survival after suffocation caused by submersion in water. It is a critical condition that occurs when a person is unable to breathe while underwater, leading to a lack of oxygen in the body.
This is the third “near-drowning” in our area during the past few months.
