2-year-old drowns in Bullitt County home's pool

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- What started as a pool party ended in tragedy when a 2-year-old girl drowned.

It happened in the backyard pool of a home on Zoneton Road near Shepherdsville in Bullitt County.  Heather Waters was swimming with other children when the children got out and went inside.

Adults couldn't find Heather, who apparently climbed into the pool to get a ball the children had been playing with.  The coroner's office says she was left alone for about two minutes.  Adults searched outside and found her in the pool.  The 911 call went in at 8:25 p.m.  She was rushed to Jewish Medical Center South, then Kosair Children's Hospital, but she was pronounced dead at 11:39 at Kosair.
