GLOUCESTER, Mass. (AP) - A 6-year-old boy pulled from the waters off a Massachusetts beach has died.

According to a statement from the Essex district attorney, the boy from Moscow, Russia, was pulled from the waters at Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester by his grandfather just after 5 p.m. Saturday.

He was taken to Addison Gilbert Hospital in Gloucester where he was pronounced dead.



While the cause of death remains under investigation, authorities say it appears to be a “medically-related event.”
