Overview
- Harris County deputies responded shortly after 6 p.m. on Sunday to the 900 block of Spring Lakes Haven Drive after reports of two people in a neighborhood pond.
- A 74-year-old woman and a 2-year-old child were found unresponsive, taken to area hospitals, and later pronounced dead after initial reports said only the woman had died.
- The Harris County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Unit and homicide detectives remain on site to determine what happened, and officials say assigning those units is standard for unexplained or unattended deaths.
- Investigators have said the victims knew each other but have not released their identities or explained how they entered the water or how long they were submerged.
- Authorities say more information will be released as the probe continues and the community is left mourning two confirmed fatalities from the residential pond incident.
