Two days following the drowning of a Bryn Mawr 3-year-old, the Montgomery County coroner provided greater context for the girl’s death.

Newtown Township police and ambulance responded at 4:49 p.m. Saturday to St. Albans Swim Club in Newtown Square, where someone was already administering CPR to the girl when they arrived, Newtown Township Chief of Police Dennis Anderson said Saturday.

Joan Elizabeth Logan, 3, was pronounced dead at 5:40 p.m. Saturday at Bryn Mawr Hospital, and Montgomery County Coroner Walter Hofman . Despite requests from concerned family friends to both him and to Patch asking that he retract his statements, he said his statements were based on facts, both from police reports and from witness accounts.

“The father said he and his wife were talking to other adults near the pool, went looking for her, did not see her in the baby pool…and saw her floating in the (middle) pool,” Hofman said. “They lost sight of the baby.”
