A 2 ½-year-old boy drowned Saturday after his parents found him in the family pool, police said.

The boy, whose name was not released, lived in his grandparents' home near 75th Avenue and Cactus Road along with his parents, twin brother and 7-month-old sister, said Peoria police spokesman Jay Davies.

All were home when the boy went missing for about 20 minutes, Davies said.

Officials responded to the call after 5 p.m. Saturday. Parents pulled the boy out of the pool and started CPR, Davies said.

The boy was not breathing when he was airlifted to a local hospital, where he later died.
