The Clark County coroner’s office identified the toddler who died this week after falling into a pool.

Pedro Mariano, 3, died Tuesday at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center after falling in a pool on the 4800 block of El Tesoro Avenue, near East Flamingo Road and Boulder Highway, according to the coroner’s office. The coroner ruled the cause of death was drowning and the manner of death was accidental.

“The preliminary investigation indicates this was a tragic accident,” Parra said.
