in his family's backyard pool last month in North Providence, Rhode Island, is being remembered by those who knew him as an energetic and adventurous boy who was always smiling.North Providence police have said the boy was pulled from the pool around 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23, at the Cassisi Court home after being underwater for an undetermined amount of time. He was taken to Hasbro Children's Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Vatral says Eli apparently somehow got into the above ground pool by himself. No one else was swimming at the time."Somehow, Eli wandered off and he must've gone directly to the pool, because it was just moments later that his grandfather found him," Vatral told WJAR."The family absolutely had everything in place, the pool was away from the house, there were two locked gates.
The pastor tells WJAR he is helping the boy's family, including the grandfather, as they grieve this tremendous loss of a bright, young life.
