A 10-year-old boy drowned in a tank near his family’s home between Saint Jo and Montague after the battery-operated vehicle he was riding in turned over by the water.
Montague County Chief Deputy Jack Lawson said Saint Jo EMS and deputies responded about 2:41 p.m. on Aug. 24. Lawson did not release the names on Thursday.
He explained the boy was driving his tractor around the yard while his mom was doing yard work and his dad was in the house. The father told them it was common for the boy to ride around, and he had seen him come by several times.
The mother said she looked over toward the tank and she did not see him, but then she saw the tractor had turned over.
“She called her husband and they found him in about two feet of water five feet from the shore. They started CPR and did that until EMS arrived. He was transported to Nocona General Hospital, where the child died,” explained Lawson.
The deputy added this is being investigated as an unattended death that appears to be a tragic accident. An autopsy will be performed

The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
