ORLANDO - A 13-year-old boy died days after he was found in a swimming pool at a Disney resort in Florida.

Anthony Johnson was visiting Disney World with his family from Missouri.

Relatives say he was playing in a pool at Disney's Pop Century Resort with friends on Sunday when they noticed him missing, and pulled him out within minutes.

Lifeguards were not on duty at the time

The Orange County Sheriff's Office says the boy died Tuesday morning.

Disney released a statement saying it has reached out to the family to offer, quote, "care and assistance during this difficult time."
