The mother of a Henrico toddler who drowned over the weekend in a backyard pool said her son was the sunshine of her life.

Cameron "Cam" Massie, 2, died Sunday, one day after his mother's wedding in the same backyard.

Police were called to the home along the 8300 block of Bowers Lane at 1:49 p.m. Sunday, where they found the child unresponsive.

Shannon Clay told CBS 6 that her son was playing in the yard with young relatives while she was cleaning up after the event. She said that in a matter of moments, Cam got through the gate and drowned in the pool.
