Hospital staff tried to resuscitate the child, who was in cardiac arrest as police escorted the ambulance from the home on Forest Avenue in Rochelle Park shortly after 1:30 p.m.

Hackensack and Maywood police assisted in clearing a path. The Bergen County Sheriff's Bureau of Criminal Identification responded to collect evidence and the county prosecutor's office was notified.

It was another in a tragic string of accidents this summer not just in Bergen County but throughout New Jersey.

A 55-year-old River Vale man drowned in his backyard pool last month (SEE: River Vale Resident Drowns In Backyard Pool).

A little over a week later, a 7-year-old Newark girl was found drowned in a backyard Teaneck pool that its owners rent out for parties (SEE: 7-Year-Old Girl Drowns In Rented Backyard Pool In Teaneck).

Only a few days later, a 1-year-old boy was pulled from a backyard pool in Paramus (SEE: Drowning Baby Pulled From Backyard Paramus Pool Transferred To Mount Sinai).
