  Toddler drowns in gold fish pond web posted March 9, 2010 AIKEN – A 17-month-old boy was pronounced dead after an apparent drowning incident in Windsor Monday afternoon. Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton said the toddler and a seven-year-old sibling were at the grandmother’s home when the two went to feed goats kept on the property. The older child returned without his younger brother and family members found him in the goldfish pond with a depth of about 16 inches of water and emergency personnel were summoned to the scene.
