The Walton County Sheriff’s Office investigates the drowning death of a toddler.  It happened Sunday evening in the Freeport area, off Highway 20.

The child, identified as Ryan Wagner, 2, of Freeport, apparently wandered out of his home and got into an in-ground pool at the home next door.  The home is reportedly under renovation, and the water in the pool was not clear enough to immediately see the bottom.

Authorities are investigating the incident, but say it appears to be nothing more than a tragic accident.
