MODESTO (CBS13) - A two-year-old boy has died after drowning in a family pool in Modesto.
The incident happened on Friday evening along the 1500 block of January Drive.
Modesto police say, around 7 p.m. that day, family at the home lost track of a child. A family member soon found the child in the pool and called 911.
