7-year-old saves drowning toddler from apartment complex pool in West Valley City, Utah
'I thought he was going to die': 7-year-old recalls saving drowning toddler from pool
Cesar said he was walking to his cousin's house to play video games about 2 p.m. when he noticed the young boy struggling and "splashing" in the pool.
"I was worried," he said, "because I … thought he was going to die. So (I) ran and saved him."
The apartment complex has since used zip ties to close the small gap in a gate that police believe the toddler was able to squeeze through. The pool is temporarily closed, officials there said.
