Bloomfield Township police say a 6-year-old girl drowned at an indoor pool inside a home on Thursday night.

According to police, the child was found floating in the indoor pool around 9 p.m. Thursday. It happened at a home on Morningside Way, off of Long Lake between Middlebelt and Telegraph.

Police say when they arrived family members were giving the girl CPR and she was rushed to the hospital where revival efforts were not successful.

We're told the girl entered the indoor pool area of the home and was alone when she went into the water. It's not clear how long she was in the pool before being discovered.

Police say the parents last saw the child about a half hour before the discovery was made.
