PHOENIX -- For the second time in a week, an austic boy has drowned in Valley waters.
Firefighters said they were called to 3824 Carol Avenue shortly after 1 p.m.
It's not known how long the 12-year-old boy was underwater when he was discovered by a 16-year-old girl.
He was pulled from the pool which was described as green, according to firefighters.
He was pronounced dead at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
On Tuesday afternoon, Jayson Allan, 8, slipped away from caretakers and fell into a canal near 64th Avenue and Indian School Road.
Two witnesses pulled him out and tried CPR, but Allan died at the hospital.
