Columbus Boy Dies In Backyard Pool Accident

Columbus Police say a 2-year-old boy died after he was pulled from a swimming pool last night at his home on the Southwest side. Police say the family reported Jantis Canterberry was missing right before they found the toddler's body in the backyard pool of their home on Golden Leaf Lane. Police say no criminal charges will be filed. They say the toddler slipped away from two teenage babysitters who were in charge of several young children at the time.
