An Illinois boy drowned Tuesday after apparently swimming in a pool facility that was closed.
Police in Park Forest, roughly 33 miles south of Chicago, pulled 10-year-old Jaleel Drayton from a pool at the Park Forest Aqua Center.
Drayton's relatives had reported him missing around 4 a.m. Tuesday. A family member found his clothing near a pool at the facility as investigators and family members searched for the boy.

The aqua center, which is outdoors and has several large pools, was closed Tuesday as police investigated the incident.
