Minnesota drownings are at a 10-year high, according to a state report released last week.
On Saturday, a 6-year-old boy drowned in Golden Valley, marking the sixth drowning in Hennepin County this year. Statewide, more than 25 people have drowned in non-boating incidents so far this year.
We'll look at the possible reasons for the spike in deaths and what is being down to prevent drownings.
