LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

Police say a child died after being found in a pool near Iroquois Park Tuesday night.

LMPD responded to reports of a missing 6-year-old in the 2300 block of Pikes Peak Blvd around 8:20 p.m.

As officers searched the area, they learned the child possibly had autism or "diminished capacity." This prompted a focused search of nearby water hazards, including pools.

Police located the child in a pool around 8:50 p.m. They initiated CPR and life-saving efforts until EMS arrived.

The child was rushed to Norton Children's Hospital, where they died.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
