EL PASO, Texas -- Officials say kids were playing in the backyard of a home off Idalia Street.

Around 5:30 p.m the family went to the back to call kids in to eat.

After they noticed they couldn’t find the two year old girl the family searched the backyard and found her in the above ground pool.

That is when authorities responded to a call around 5:37 p.m.

The little girl was transported to Sierra Medical Center, but it was there that she was pronounced dead.

Police have yet to reveal the name of the girl or her family.

They also said anytime they deal with the death or injury of a child it's standard procedure to perform an investigation.
