PEMBROKE PINES (CBSMiami) – A 1-year-old girl has drowned in Pembroke Pines.

CBS4's Karli Barnett spoke with a neighbor, who said he had just seen the little girl.

"I was playing the little girl and her mother. They just bought a bunny for her. They were playing in the front yard, and I was walking one of my dogs," said Paul Karp. "I came back about five minutes later, the police and emergency, everybody was here. I found that she had fallen into the pool, and we didn't know if she was still alive. And unfortunately we got the word that she wasn't."
