A 6-year-old Bridgeview boy who apparently got out of bed in the middle of the night was found dead in a neighbor’s pool on Thursday, Chicago Breaking News reported.
The parents reported Tristian Jeras, 6, missing when they checked his bedroom around 7 a.m. Officials believe the boy may have left the house on the 7100 block of Garden Lane sometime between 2 and 6 a.m.
Bridgeview police and firefighters and parents searched the neighborhood and along wooded areas and railroad tracks near the family’s’ home for four hours. Sadly, Tristian was found floating in a neighbor’s aboveground swimming pool several houses down from he lived.
Friends have set up a fund in Tristian’s name to help his family during this difficult time. T-shirts are also being made, proceeds of which will go toward his family. Information is forthcoming.

What a shame. What does that mean
'slipped-out'? I do not know any child that age who would leave the house In the Dark
Without mom or dad? I could slipping on a builtin pool or its cover.... Dont all pools have 3-4foot fences required by ordinance laws? Plus an above grond pool Sounds fishy to me. Just MO
