Montreal teen in critical condition after being found in pool
MONTREAL — A 13-year-old Montreal boy remained in critical condition Friday after being found at the bottom of a swimming pool following a high school gym class this week.
No one noticed the Grade 8 student’s absence when his class left the pool deck Thursday and it was the next group that found him.
A school board official said both a teacher and a lifeguard were present along with between 20 and 30 of the boy’s classmates.
Alain Perron, a spokesman for the Commission scolaire de Montreal, said a psychological team that was sent to Pere-Marquette high school Thursday to meet with students and staff remained in place Friday.
