Authorities say a 10-year-old girl drowned and her two brothers are hospitalized after being pulled from a pool at a Dallas-area apartment complex.

The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office on Thursday confirmed the girl died following the accident in Irving but didn't immediately release her name. 

 Police didn't immediately release details on conditions of her hospitalized brothers, ages 9 and 11.

Irving police say the children's mother summoned help Wednesday afternoon when she noticed her daughter and her sons went under. Police say the mother, who can't swim, was at the shallow end of the pool with her 3-year-old child when she could no longer hear the older children.

A maintenance worker and a bystander had pulled two youngsters from the pool by the time emergency personnel arrived.
