LPD: 2-year-old Lincoln boy dies after drowning incident

Lincoln police said a 2-year-old Lincoln boy who was found after nearly drowning in a pool at a home near 32nd and Potter last month has died. 

The boy, who family identified only as Kayson, was flown to Children’s Hospital in Omaha in critical condition. Hospital staff told police he died Wednesday. 

Organizers of an online fundraiser to help the family of a Lincoln toddler who nearly drowned say his injuries are “way too big for his little body and he will not heal.” 

Police said several adults were present but Kayson went unseen for a few minutes. No citations have been issued.
