According to BSO, deputies and Pompano Beach Fire Rescue responded to the 1600 block of Northeast First Avenue shortly after noon after receiving a call about a possible drowning.
“Please, the baby fell in the pool -- we found her,” a loved one is heard telling a 911 dispatcher in audio obtained Friday by Local 10 News.
“How long was she in the pool?” the dispatcher asked.
“We don’t know,” the caller said.
Authorities said the toddler was pulled out of the water by family members.
“Deputies learned the victim’s mother had found the child unresponsive in the pool,” BSO spokeswoman Miranda Grossman said in a news release. “Family members pulled the victim from the pool and immediately began CPR until deputies took over.”
Miranda said paramedics then transported Sinai to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
BSO’s Homicide and Crime Scene units are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the drowning. Foul play is not suspected.
