The homeowner told police the child was the son of a friend that had come to the house to swim in the evening, according to a Riverside police report.
Police believe the incident was an accident.
The homeowner, who is a retired medic from the military, immediately performed CPR on the boy until medics took over and transported him to Dayton Children’s Hospital.
