NOVI, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say a Novi man and his 3-year-old son accidentally drowned in an apartment complex swimming pool northwest of Detroit.
An autopsy was performed Wednesday on 31-year-old Nagavaju Surepalli and Ananth Surepalli.
Police say the child was poolside on a tricycle about 3 p.m. Tuesday when he rode inadvertently into the community pool. Nagavaju Surepalli went into the water after the boy, but was not an experienced swimmer.
Police say the pool has a maximum depth of 5 feet and no lifeguards. No one else was in the pool area at the time.
Nagavaju and Ananth Surepalli lived at the apartment complex.
The case remains under investigation.
