Teenage girl dies after being found at bottom of hotel pool in Tucker

A teenage girl died after being found at the bottom of a pool at a DeKalb County hotel Wednesday evening, according to officials.

The girl, whose exact age has not been confirmed, was already unconscious by the time first responders got to her around 8:30 p.m., DeKalb fire Capt. Jaeson Daniels said. Rescue crews performed CPR and rushed her to a hospital in critical condition, but she died shortly after arriving.

The incident unfolded at the Holiday Inn Express at 2060 Crescent Centre Boulevard, just off I-285 in the Northlake area of Tucker. It is not clear how long the girl had been under water or if there had been any supervision in the pool area.
