Desk clerk, Wanda Van Blarrume, was watching surveillance video of the pool area and saw the twins return to the hot tub. She then saw the 3-year-old step into the middle and go underwater, police said.

Van Blarrume radioed another staff member, Michael Johnson, who pulled the boy out of the water, police said.

The report said the child was not breathing and did not have a pulse. Johnson and the boy's father began CPR, but another guest, Brittany Fishel, continued resuscitation efforts until the child began to breathe on his own, police said.
