The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office has released the identity of the 5-year-old who died after being pulled unresponsive from a Buffalo Grove pool Friday evening.
An autopsy remains pending for Tyson Nyamganid, 5, of Plainfield, who was pronounced dead at 8:04 p.m. on July 4 at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, records show.
Paramedics from the Buffalo Grove Fire Department responded to the 100 block of Copperwood Drive for a report of an unresponsive child in a private residential pool at 6:30 p.m. Friday, said Molly Gillespie, Communications and Engagement Director for the Village of Buffalo Grove.
Upon arrival, Nyamganid was found out of the water and bystanders were performing CPR, Gillespie said.
Paramedics immediately began lifesaving efforts, Gillespie said, and the boy was transported to the hospital in serious condition.
Gillespie said the child was pronounced dead at the hospital.
She said the incident remains under investigation by the Buffalo Grove Police Department.
