A missing 3-year-old boy died after being found in a pond in Tredyffrin Township, Pennsylvania, police said.

Police responded to Wilson Farm Park off Lee Road in Tredyffrin Township around 6:50 p.m. Monday for a report of a missing 3-year-old child. When they arrived, they found the boy unresponsive in a pond about 100 yards from the park’s playground area, according to Tredyffrin Township Police Captain Tyler Moyer.

The responding officers tried to resuscitate the child and then transported him to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's King of Prussia location where he was later pronounced dead.
