Did a child drown at a pool in wantagh?

I hear tons of helicopters nearby and my dad said he thought he saw on the news that a child drowned? But, I don't see anything???

Which pool are you near? I'm right near the playground at Wantagh Park and haven't heard anything.

I just saw a clip on the news but I missed half of it.

Looks like a private pool. I think it looked like the Wantagh Woods.

But, they said a child was found floating in the pool and aren't saying if he was alive or not. There was a heli shot of the backyard and there was yellow tape at the gate and a police officer gaurding it.

I hear and see all the helicopters too. I took the 135 and got off at Sunrise Hgwy going East- and the traffic was backed up getting off going West.

One of the teachers at my DD's daycare said that there was an accident on Sunrise going West-- which is what the helicopters were for- but who knows.

Maybe that's why there are SO many heli's overhead the accident and the drowning. I just saw part of the news clip and they were hovering over the backyard. Weird.
