Wrentham Baby Drowns In Pool Over Father's Day Weekend

WRENTHAM, MA — An 18-month-old baby drowned in a backyard pool during a Father's Day celebration on Saturday.

Police Officers and Firefighters say they arrived at the scene at 8 p.m. to see family members performing CPR on a one-year-old boy identified as Angelo Nicoloro.

The baby was immediately taken to a Rhode Island hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Wrentham Police Chief Bill McGrath took to Facebook and posted a heart-felt warning to parents with pools and little ones.

"When you have a pool, above ground like this one or in ground, you need to be hyper-vigilant beyond reason. Pools are truly a trap for the toddlers of our world, so much fun at face value, so dangerous at the same time. The little ones only see the fun." McGrath wrote. "Now we, from the Wrentham, Bellingham, Newton communities and beyond, grieve with the Nicoloro family. We pour out our hearts, offer our prayers while most of us are unable to imagine the depth and pain of their sorrow."
