FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Authorities say a 4-year-old boy who was found unresponsive in a neighborhood swimming pool over the weekend has died at the hospital.

Fayetteville police Sgt. Craig Stout says the boy was swimming with a church group at Barrington Parke Pool on Saturday night when his parents noticed him missing.

Fayetteville television station KHOG reports (http://is.gd/JPGEFq) that paramedics were able to resuscitate the boy before sending him to the hospital.

Authorities say the child died shortly before 3 a.m. Monday at a Little Rock hospital.
