In a post to social media Thursday morning, the Lake View Police Department said their officers were joined by the Lake View Fire Department, McCalla Fire Department and the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office on a call to the Tannehill Preserve Community Pool on an emergency medical call Wednesday.

The officers and other first responders found a 3-year-old girl there, who was transported to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead.
