COLUMBUS, GA (AP) -
A child who wandered into the Chattahoochee River in Columbus has died at a hospital, three days after his mother and her 11-month-old son both drowned while trying to save the boy.
Muscogee Coroner Bill Thrower says 3-year-old David Brown died Wednesday.
Police told The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer that the family was fishing on the bank at Rigdon Park Sunday when the 3-year-old went into the water.
Police say the mother, holding her baby, went in to get him and all three went under the water, police said.
The 3-year-old went in a shallow area, but there was a drop-off where water became as deep as 15 feet, according to police.
Authorities say the mother, 30-year-old Krystal Ann Brown and her infant son Mister Brown both died that day.
David Brown died around 1 p.m. Wednesday at Egleston Children's Hospital in Atlanta, where he had been transferred after being pulled from the water.
