ORIGINAL STORY:
JOHNSON COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A 4-year-old Johnson County boy is fighting for his life after being found barely alive in a swimming pool.
It happened around 10:00 Monday morning on Stambaugh Branch Road in Sitka.
Emergency responders say the pool owners found the 4-year-old floating face down in their pool, and a 3-year-old boy getting ready to get in the water.
Investigators say the neighbors quickly got the two boys, called for help, and started CPR. The 4-year-old was flown to Cabell-Huntington Hospital. They don't know how long the boy was in the water.
Investigators say the two boys live a half mile down from the pool. Now they're trying to find out how the boys got so far from home.
The 3-year-old is now in the care of social services.
Authorities are not releasing any names at this time.
Sheriff's Deputies aren't sure how long their investigation will take or if it will lead to any charges.
