Marcus Hall GoFundMe: Fundraiser raises over $1900 after Ohio toddler's tragic pool death

A two-year-old toddler, Marcus Hall, from Ohio drowned in a neighbor’s pool as he was left unsupervised by his mother, who slept while the father was at work. The authorities claimed that Marcus Hall was found at the bottom of the neighbor’s pool after the mother realized that the toddler was nowhere to be found at home.

As per the authorities, the incident took place on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.

As soon as the authorities found the child, he was taken to a nearby hospital. However, the doctors at the hospital pronounced Marcus Hall dead as soon as he reached the hospital.

Furthermore, as per MSN, the authorities also claimed that they had visited the area just an hour before the incident took place, as they received a complaint from one of the neighbors that they spotted a young child running behind a dog, unsupervised by an adult.

The authorities revealed that it was Marcus Hall’s mother who was not supervising her kids and had left him and her other four-year-old outside the house to play. However, even after the warning, the mother was not careful enough, and the incident occurred.

The family has now started a GoFundMe fundraiser to collect money for Marcus’ funeral and memorial service.
