Brooklyn boy, 7, drowns in Long Island pool


A child drowned in the swimming pool of a Long Island home during a Saturday gathering, cops said.

Kyrie Berry, 7, was at the home on North Thompson Drive in Bay Shore for a backyard barbecue, according to News Day.

Partygoers noticed Berry’s unresponsive body around 8:25 p.m., pulled the boy out of the water and immediately called 911, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.

First responders rushed the youngster to South Shore University Hospital but he could not be saved, cops said.

Suffolk County police are still investigating the incident and what could have led him to drown at the gathering.

According to a study on child drownings by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, such incidents are frequently silent and with no splashing or noise to signal the child is in trouble.

The county warned residents of a spike in drownings on July 9 after three people — two adults and a different 7-year-old boy — drowned over a 24-hour period during the July Fourth holiday weekend, according to the report from News Day.

Prior to Berry’s death, ten people had drowned in private pools in Suffolk County this year, according to statistics from Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine’s office.

Fifteen people drowned in Suffolk County pools in 2023, according to the statistics.
