SAN DIEGO (AP) - Authorities say a 3-year-old boy has drowned while fishing at a San Diego County reservoir with his uncle, who was later also found dead in the water.
California Department of Fire and Forestry Protection Chief Nick Schuler says the little boy apparently fell in the water Saturday, and the uncle drowned while trying to save him.
Schuler says the toddler, Gabriel Ramos, and his 26-year-old uncle, Fernando Damian Molina Apeitia, went to the reservoir together. When they didn't return, family members went to the fishing spot and found the boy floating. Rescue divers later found Apeitia at the bottom of the reservoir.
