#ad▼

A 12-year-old Chicago girl rescued from a pool at Tanglewood Apartments in Arlington Heights apartment Monday afternoon, but who died Tuesday morning, is identified as Jasanae Poole.

Poole was pronounced dead Tuesday morning at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, where she was transferred after being transported to Northwest Community Hospital. Authorities believe, according to witness accounts, that Jasanae Poole was only struggling about three minutes before she was removed from the swimming pool.

No foul play is suspected and the swimming pool where the apparent drowning occurred meets all applicable safety standards, according to Arlington Heights Police Capt. Mike Hernandez. Jasanae Poole was visiting the apartment complex Monday.

Seven years ago, a girl was rescued from the Tanglewood Apartments swimming pool on Tuesday, June 12, 2007 — after she was found floating face down by a male passerby. The male performed CPR for a short time, and the girl woke up crying and coughing up water.
