The toddler was from North Carolina and staying with his grandmother

 A 5-year old North Carolina boy visiting San Diego died Sunday after being pulled from a swimming pool at a home in 4S Ranch.

While Malachi Gardner was here in San Diego with his family, he spent a few days in the care of his grandmother. On Saturday evening Malachi fell into the deep end of the pool, according to the medical examiner.

His grandmother called 911 call and emergency crews took the boy to Rady Chlidren's Hospital where he died early Sunday.
