3-Year-Old Dies a Day After Twin Brother Drowns in South Carolina Pool
Twin toddlers have died after a drowning incident in a South Carolina pool.
The Marcengill family was attending a social event at a home in Easley on Saturday afternoon, the Independent Mail
reports. A group of children went outside to play, and at some point,
the 3-year-old boys somehow got into a locked pool area, possibly
climbing over or under the fence. After perhaps 15 to 20 minutes
underwater, their sister found them in the four-foot, above-ground pool.
They
were taken to a nearby hospital where the first toddler, Caleb, was
pronounced dead. His brother Ezekiel was placed on life support, but
died a day later. Both deaths were ruled accidental drownings.
“You
protect your kids as best as you can,” said their father, Brandon
Marcengill. “They reach an age where they can run around and play. How
do you defend against everything?”
