A Maryland father and his young daughter died after drowning in a swimming pool over the weekend, officials said.

The Charles County Sheriff’s Office said that a 7-year-old girl jumped in an in-ground pool in Waldorf on Saturday but didn’t know how to swim. Her father, 44, then jumped in the pool to rescue her but also was “unable to swim,” the office said.
