A child drowned Friday in an East Islip backyard pool, law enforcement sources tell News 12 Long Island.
Police and emergency crews were called to a home on Percy Williams Drive just before 6 p.m.
First responders rushed the child victim to Southside Hospital, performing CPR en route.
Neighbors say the child was probably visiting the home because they had never seen a young child there before.
Authorities did not release information about the child's age or gender.
