An 18-month-old boy is on life support after drowning in an
upstate pool Shabbos afternoon. Hatzalah worked on the child for nearly an hour
before regaining a pulse.
The incident occurred Wellsprings, a Lubavitcher bungalow
colony in Monticello, NY, on Shabbos afternoon.
Apparently the child managed to get into the pool area by
squeezing under a section of the fence, and then fell into the pool. A
3-year-old child began calling for help.
Adults rushed into the pool area and pulled the child from
the pool. He was in cardiac arrest and Hatzalah was called. After working to
revive the child for nearly an hour, Hatzalah managed to restore the child’s
pule and he was rushed to Harris Medical Center. The child was then choppered
to Westchester Medical Center where the child is listed in critical condition
and is on life support.
The public is being asked to say Tehillim for Zeev Aryeh ben
Nechama, who is currently on a respirator.
