Boy Dies After Falling In Pond In Maupin

A four-year-old boy has died after being found in the middle of a frozen-over pond in Maupin.  The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies on Monday afternoon were dispatched to a call of a possible drowning of a child.  A deputy was able to locate and extract the child from the middle of a frozen over pond and immediately started CPR.  The boy was taken by LifeFlight to St. Charles Hospital in Bend where efforts were made to save his life, but the Sheriff’s Office says he was pronounced deceased that evening.  The Sheriff’s Office says there are no indications of foul play and this appears to be a tragic accident.  The name of the child and family is being withheld pending notification of extended family.
