8/5/2003

The drowning death of a 4-year-old Toledo boy Sunday has been ruled accidental by the Lucas County coroner's office.

Lorenzo Rison, of 215 Western Ave., was pronounced dead at Toledo Hospital about 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Family members told police they were at the boy's great-aunt's home, 4216 Marlaine Drive, when they noticed the child at the bottom of the pool.

A short time earlier, he had been seen standing on the diving board, but no one had seen him fall or jump, witnesses told police.
