CLAYTON, N.C. — A 2-year-old girl died Thursday night after being pulled from a pond in Clayton.

Golfers at the Riverwood Golf Club community went to retrieve their ball at about 6 p.m. when they found the girl floating face-down in a pond along the golf course, authorities said.

The golfers attempted to revive the girl, who was taken to WakeMed, where she died.

Deputies said the girl had been at a home about 100 yards away from the pond, but they are unsure how she got there.
