ARGYLE, Texas (AP) _ An autopsy on a 3-year-old girl by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office determined she drowned in a septic tank near her home in Argyle.
The body of Alisandra Galvan was found early yesterday in the septic system of her home.
Argyle police Capt. Temple Cottle said the child was last seen playing in her back yard Tuesday evening.
Cottle said investigators suspected the girl was in the septic tank when they noticed the tank’s cover was missing. They found the girl’s body and the tank cover in the bottom of the tank after it was pumped out.
He said the girl’s parents had recently moved into the home and hadn’t noticed whether the cover to the septic tank was in place or missing.
