LISBON – St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office is investigating what was initially reported as a drowning death that occurred in Lisbon on May 1, however the victim is now in recovery.

A boy approximately five-years-old drowned in a pool, but was resuscitated by emergency medical personnel and transported to Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center.

The boy was then transferred to Syracuse for further treatment, where his condition had been improving, according to Undersheriff Sean O’Brien.
