A young boy is dead after drowning in an in-ground swimming pool on Saturday in Williamstown, N.J.
Around 11 a.m., police say 1-year-old Kanye Wright was found floating in the pool by his uncle. The uncle called 911 and a family friend performed CPR on the boy until medical workers arrived.
Kanye was then taken to Kennedy Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 12:15 p.m.
Investigators say that Kanye and his father, Waydale Wright, who are both from Glassboro, were at the house of the boy's grandmother. Kanye's mother was at work while Waydale was working in the front yard.
Police say that the grandmother asked the boy's 14 and 16-year-old uncles to watch him while she was in the shower.
Investigators believe that both uncles thought that the other one was watching Kanye.
Kanye somehow left the house and made his way to the fenced pool where the gate was left open.
