HILLSBORO, Md. - Maryland State Police are investigating the death of a Caroline County child who was found in a swimming pool at her home on the 11000-block of Butler Road. The 2-year-old Bella Blackiston was pronounced dead at Memorial Hospital in Easton. Results from an autopsy did not reveal signs of trauma or suspicious injuries. The cause and manner of the child's death are pending.
Police were called just before 5PM Monday by a neighbor who had found the child in the above-ground pool, which is surrounded by a deck connected to their home. The preliminary investigation indicates the child and her mother were at home alone at the time. How the child got out of the house and into the pool are under investigation.
