The Union County Sheriff's Office is investigating the drowning of a 19-month-old girl who was found unresponsive in a pond near Marysville on Sunday night.

The office received a 911 call at 7:23 p.m.

Deputies responded to the 19000 block of Paver Barnes Road.

A deputy performed CPR at the scene. The child was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead just after 9 p.m.

The toddler's body was taken to Montgomery County for an autopsy.

Union County Sheriff Mike Justice tells WOSU he hopes to have a preliminary autopsy report later this week.
