MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - Authorities are releasing the names of two brothers who drowned in a residential pool in Montgomery Monday evening.

The bodies of Victor Garcia, 7, and Cristubal Basurto Garcia, 5, were found at approximately 5:45pm in the pool at the Cypress Court Apartments off Plaza Drive.

Both boys were transported to Baptist Medical Center South, but were pronounced dead at approximately 7:20pm.

A fund was set up by Ridgecrest Baptist Church Tuesday in an effort to help the Garcia family with funeral costs for the siblings.
