One of the last hot days of this summer almost ended in tragedy in the Wels-Land district. A little boy was floating motionless in the pool when his dad noticed him. The father brought the child back to life.
The two-year-old used an unnoticed moment to climb into the pool in the family garden in Schleissheim. He could not swim and had not put on a wing or any other swimming aid. He went under without a sound. His father (51) and five-year-old brother were unaware of the incident around 6 p.m. on Thursday evening, although they were also in the garden near the pool. Only when the father noticed that the little one had disappeared and looked in the pool did he discover his son: he was already drifting at the bottom of the pool. The 51-year-old immediately jumped into the pool, pulled his son out of the water and began resuscitation measures. After about a minute, the child regained consciousness and vomited. The alarmed emergency doctor brought the boy to the Linz University Hospital for clarification. According to the first assessment, there is no danger to life.
