A 5-year-old boy was pronounced dead in Indiana after being pulled out of a creek that he was drowning in.

Yoel Michael was a boy from Brownsburg who was found and rescued from a creek in Hendricks County along with his 3-year-old sister.

Michael’s sister was transported to the hospital and is reported to have sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Police are still investigating how the children ended up in the water, but the creek water was higher than usual as a result of rain.
