Henrico family seeks answers after 13-year-old pulled from apartment pool dies

A 13-year-old boy died Monday after he was pulled from a pool at a Henrico apartment complex, and his family is now searching for answers.

Allan Taylor walked out of the front door of his aunt's Richfield Place apartment unit Monday afternoon and never returned.

Desire Dinkins, Allan's aunt, said she had no idea he had gone to the pool.

"He came in the house, and he said he was just checking in, and he said he was going back outside. He never mentioned the pool," Dinkins said.

By the time Dinkins was notified, Allan had already been removed from the water.

Dinkins said the pool was the last place she expected Allan and his friends to be, saying it had been closed for most of the summer and she does not have a pool pass.
