PHOENIX (CBS5) -
A 10-month-old girl was found submerged in a bathtub at her family's home in Phoenix late Sunday morning, fire officials said.
Phoenix fire Capt. Scott McDonald said when rescue crews arrived to the scene in the 7300 block of West Crown King Road, they found police officers on scene performing CPR.
The girl had been in the bathtub with her 2-year-old brother, McDonald said. The mom had turned on the showerhead and left the children unattended, he said.
Officials believe the older child put the stopper in the tub while mom was away, the tub filled up and the girl slipped under water, McDonald said.
The girl had a pulse when rescue crews left her at the hospital, McDonald said.
No other information was readily available.
