Sheriff Richard K. Jones reports that on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at approximately 2:30 PM, deputies from the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, along with emergency medical personnel from the Morgan Township Life Squad, responded to a residence in the 3900 block of Timber Walk Lane in Morgan Township for a reported drowning incident.

Upon arrival, first responders were informed that the victim, a six-year-old male child, had been swimming with other children under adult supervision. According to the child’s mother, while monitoring the activity, she noticed that her son, who had entered the deep end of the pool wearing snorkeling gear, had not resurfaced. She immediately entered the water and pulled him from the pool.

Lifesaving measures were initiated at the scene. The child was then airlifted to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” stated Sheriff Jones. “Incidents involving children are the most difficult calls our deputies respond to. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the family during this incredibly difficult time.”

The incident remains under investigation by the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.
