South Bend — A 3-year-old boy died after firefighters pulled him from an uncovered pool at his family’s home.

St. Joseph County police say Brayden Apple’s mother told officers that he and his two young siblings were napping Saturday afternoon when she went to take a shower. She told police that the doors to the house were locked, and she could not find Brayden when she finished her shower.

Sgt. Bill Redman said the woman searched outside, but the pool’s water was too dirty for anybody to see the boy. Redman said the pool was not covered and the entrance gate to the fence around it did not have a lock.
