A FIVE-year-old boy and a 35-year-old American woman died in separate drowning incidents over the weekend.
Authorities were called to a house on Albacore Drive in eastern Grand Bahama on Saturday after a young boy was found submerged in a pool.
The child, whose name has yet to be released to the press, was retrieved from the water, and officers performed CPR, but he later succumbed in the hospital.
In a separate incident in Abaco around the same time, a 35-year-old woman from Florida was found unresponsive, floating in the water off Union Jack Public Dock.
A relative retrieved the victim from the water and performed CPR, but the woman did not respond to resuscitation efforts. She was later pronounced dead after she was examined at a medical facility.
Police say that they do not suspect foul play in this incident as there was no visible trauma on her body. Authorities are awaiting an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
