Syosset nanny dies trying to save boy in backyard pool


Play the video (07/03/08) SYOSSET - A Syosset nanny died Thursday evening after trying to rescue her 3-year-old boy charge from a backyard pool.
Authorities say the boy too his life vest off and went into the pool and under the water. The nanny, in her 60s, dove in to save him. The nanny had been supervising the boy and his two older siblings by the side of the pool.

The mother, who was in the house at the time, was alerted to the incident and ran outside to help. She removed the child from the pool and ran to get neighbors to help rescue the nanny.

The nanny was transported to North Shore University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The boy was taken to Schneider’s Children’s Hospital and regained consciousness. He is recovering and doctors say they are confident he will be OK.

This brings tears to my eyes. That woman deserves a purple heart. It's so amazing that she saved the boy's life and gave up her own.

It is so sad. I happen to live not too far from the house and as I was driving up the main street (Jackson Ave) to go home the other day, I saw all the cops cars and such Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

so incredibly sadChat Icon I thought I heard on the news that the nanny didn't know how to swim. If that is true, than she really is a hero jumping in to save him knowing she couldn't swim on her ownChat Icon
