A 9-year-old boy died earlier this week after he was pulled unresponsive from a pool at a summer camp in Virginia.
"Pool staff immediately began CPR and continued lifesaving efforts until paramedics and County Fire Department personnel arrived and assumed care," SwimRVA said. "The child was transported to the hospital, where he passed away."
"My baby turned around and said, 'Okay mom, love you.' I said, 'I love you the most. Have a good day.'" she told the station. "I turned around, I walked out, and that was the last time I seen my son alive."
Speaking with WRIC, Johnson noted that her son was attending the summer camp in order to learn how to swim. She added that she has not received any communication from SwimRVA-North in the wake of the incident.
"I don’t know anything," she said. "I just know they found my baby at the bottom of a pool."
SwimRVA said in its online statement that it is cooperating fully with the authorities as they investigate the circumstances surrounding King's death.
"Our hearts are with the child's family and loved ones during this loss," the organization said. "We extend our deepest condolences and are keeping them and all those affected by this tragedy in our thoughts."
Authorities have not yet released the official cause and manner of King's death. SwimRVA has also not shared any additional details about the circumstances surrounding the child being pulled unresponsive from the pool. NTD reached out for more information, but a response was not received by publication time.
