SAN FRANCISCO—A 7-year-old boy lost a fight for his life that began when his mother tried to drown him after she drowned his 12-year-old brother last month in California, authorities said.

Jacob Telnas died on July 7 in a Visalia hospital, eight days after deputies found him and his 12-year-old brother, Jackson Telnas, in a corn field irrigation ditch near their home in Strathmore, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office said.
