The toddler had been visiting a home on Biance Street, Richelieu-St-Laurent police said. The in-ground pool had a fence around it, police said. Police are investigating the incident, and are interviewing the girl's parents and witnesses to determine how she ended up in the pool. There have been 71 drownings in Quebec so far this year, according to the Lifesaving Society.
