Port Orange Police responded at about 6:27 p.m. to a home along Sagewood Drive in reference to a child drowning. When officers arrived at the home, they found out that 2-year-old Trinity Fuson was pulled out of the swimming pool by her grandmother, Tabitha Roberts.

Trinity Fuson was transported to Halifax Hospital in Port Orange, where she died.
According to police, Trinity was put down for a nap, and detectives are investigating how she got out of the home and to the pool.
