Authorities in Indiana said a child who was reported missing on April 13 was found dead in the next door neighbor's fish pond.
The Evansville Police Department wrote in a news release on Facebook that the father noticed his 2-year-old son Carter Pickerell went missing Monday afternoon and called police.
Authorities were dispatched to the home on Conlin Avenue in Evansville to search for the missing boy.
Responding officers arrived at the scene within minutes, news outlets reported, but the boy had already been found in the next door neighbor's koi fish pond.
First responders performed CPR and tried to resuscitate the boy, police said. But "all lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful."
Pickerell was determined dead at the scene, with an autopsy revealing the boy drowned after falling into the pond, according to a release from Vanderburgh County Coroner Steve Lockyear.
"I didn't think he'd be able to unlock the door and go outside without me knowing," he told the outlet.
Detective Sergeant Peter DeYoung said that no criminal activity was suspected.
Evansville County is located about 170 miles southwest of Indianapolis.
