In Tennessee, a 2-year-old girl died after she wandered into her family’s backyard swimming pool while her father was searching for her, authorities said. Viomara Laura Ortiz was preparing to go swimming with her father at their home on Sadler Avenue on Monday, July 27, when she ran off while he was changing, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
