Charles County, Maryland authorities say they're investigating what appears to be the accidental drowning of a 19-month old boy. Investigators say they initially received a call from the child's mother that he was missing. While enroute to the White Plains home they received a second call that Jason Daniel Burke-Junior had been found unconscious in a backyard above ground swimming pool.

He was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
