Stark Co. Child Found Dead in Pool
WYOMING, Ill. (AP) -- A 2-year-old central Illinois girl is dead after being found in at the bottom of a neighbor's backyard pool.

Authorities say Taylor E. Gunn was found Monday morning in the pool in Wyoming, a Stark County community located about 35 miles north of Peoria.

Authorities say the girl was reported missing by her parents, along with a 3-year-old sibling, after they wandered away from the home. The 3-year-old was later found unharmed.

Henry County Coroner David Johnson is tentatively calling the death an accident. He noted it appeared the girl climbed a ladder to get into the above ground pool.

Johnson said an autopsy is planned.
