DALLAS, TX — June 14, 2025 — A tragic discovery early Saturday morning has prompted an active investigation by Dallas authorities after an individual was found unresponsive in a swimming pool on the city’s southwest side.
According to the Dallas Police Department, officers were dispatched to a property in the 5300 block of South Hampton Road at approximately 4:15 a.m. following a 911 call reporting an unresponsive person in a residential or community pool. Emergency medical services were immediately called to the scene. Despite resuscitation efforts by first responders, the individual was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have not yet released the identity, age, or gender of the deceased, pending notification of next of kin. What is known so far is that the person was discovered submerged in the water in what appears to be a residential or possibly multi-unit housing complex pool. The nature of the call and initial response suggest that the victim may have been alone or unnoticed in the water for an undetermined period of time.
The Dallas Police Department’s Homicide Unit and Crime Scene Response Team were both called to the scene to begin processing evidence and gathering witness statements. As of now, investigators have not ruled out any possibilities — including accidental drowning, foul play, or a medical episode — and they emphasize that the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.
Detectives are reviewing security footage from nearby surveillance cameras, interviewing potential witnesses in the area, and conducting a thorough examination of the scene. Neighbors and residents of the surrounding complex were seen speaking with officers, and some described being awakened by emergency vehicle sirens in the pre-dawn hours.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the victim, or who may have witnessed any suspicious activity in or around the pool area during the overnight hours, to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously to Dallas Crime Stoppers at 214-373-TIPS (8477).
The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office is conducting a full autopsy to determine the official cause and manner of death, which may offer critical insight into the timeline and events leading up to the discovery.
This incident marks yet another summer tragedy as temperatures rise and pool usage increases across the region. Dallas officials are reminding the public to take proper safety precautions when using residential pools — especially during off-hours — and to never swim alone.
More details are expected to be released as the investigation unfolds. The Dallas community now awaits answers, and the victim’s family prepares to grapple with an unexpected and heartbreaking loss.
