Water Rescue-Lansdowne, Baltimore Co., MD 1-25-15
#1
Around 1:30 on Sunday afternoon units were alerted for children who fell through the ice on a pond in the Lansdowne area of southwest Baltimore County. Two adult bystanders were alerted by the screams of the 4 kids in the water. They managed to rescue 3 of them and called 911. Several Dive Units from Baltimore and Carroll County responded and searched the water for more than an hour until they found the fourth victim. He was pulled from the water unconscious and taken to the hospital where 2 of them were in serious condition and 2 were listed in critical condition.

UPDATE:

It was reported that the 13 year old boy recovered by divers/firefighters died sometime Monday night or early Tuesday morning at Johns Hopkins Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

The other 12 year old boy is still in the hospital. He was pulled out by bystanders in cardiac arrest also, remains in critical condition.

The first two boys, aged 8 and 12, managed to get out on their own were releasded from the Hospital later Sunday night.

I'm surprised you found out. Here in Portland the hospitals won't tell anyone anything unless they are family.

I guess the press was following up on it. It was reported in the newspapers and TV stations! It was the top news story on local and national stations.
