A child pulled from the water Sunday night in Harvest has died.
Madison County Coroner Tyler Berryhill said the child, a five-year-old boy whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children.
The child was found by first responders in a pond in Harvest, at 100 Logan Berry Lane, around 8:30 p.m.
A search had apparently been ongoing for an hour or so before the child’s discovery.
“The investigation is currently ongoing into the circumstances of the case and an autopsy has been ordered,” Berryhill said in a statement.
Madison County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Brent Patterson said investigators await the results of the autopsy, but charges do not appear likely.
“It was a terrible accident, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. It’s absolutely terrible,” Patterson said.
