5-year-old Jayden James Secrest was driving a child-sized ATV on his parent's property, with his friend Blake Lee Cronkhite, 3, riding on the back. At some point the boys were riding near a pond when they lost control and drove the ATV into it. Apparently though there were adults present, no one saw the boys drive into the pond, but as soon as their fathers saw the ATV floating in the water they rushed to the pond, pulled them ashore, and began CPR. Despite their efforts, both children were pronounced dead, with the cause of death listed as drowning.
