Second toddler who entered Arkansas pool dies days later

A second toddler who ventured into a neighbor's backyard pool in Sheridan earlier this month has died, authorities said Monday.

Jayden Love, 3, died Friday, six days after he was found in the above-ground pool near a house on Church Street.

Jayden's cousin, 3-year-old Bentley Love, also entered the pool and died that day, authorities said.

The Sheridan Police Department said the two boys were under the care of a babysitter who didn't notice they left the house. Police believe they then walked about 50 feet to the adjacent property, where they climbed into an above-ground pool between 5:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. on August 20.
