A two-year-old boy, Malachi LeBlanc, has died after drowning in a community pool in Bexar County, San Antonio, on August 5. The incident occurred while the toddler was under the care of a close family friend.

Emergency services were called to the 25800 block of Turquoise Sky in the Indian Springs neighborhood. Malachi's mother, Grace LeBlanc, told the Daily Mail that her son had either jumped or fallen into the pool while eating a snack. She was en route to the hospital when she received the call about the accident.

"He was supervised by somebody I trust with my whole life. And I still trust them," LeBlanc stated, emphasizing that the death was an accident and that the caregiver had previously looked after all her children. "It was just an accident."

After arriving at the hospital, doctors were able to revive Malachi's heartbeat. The toddler was then moved to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), where he remained for eight days. A CT scan revealed swelling on his brain. Doctors indicated a high probability that Malachi would not survive.

Malachi was declared dead on Sunday, August 10, four days after the drowning incident. His parents were subsequently approached by the Organ Donation Alliance. Initially hesitant, Grace LeBlanc agreed to organ donation after realizing it could offer other children a second chance at life.

"If the miracle I'm praying for is not the miracle we get, we're still going to see miracles from this situation," she said. "And so it immediately changed my heart, and I agreed to the organ donation route. And I felt peace with that."

It is anticipated that Malachi's heart, liver, and kidneys will be donated, depending on the transplant process. Grace LeBlanc described her son as "clever," "funny," and "just perfect." He enjoyed singing and dancing and had begun speaking shortly after his first birthday.

The family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for medical and funeral expenses, with over $23,000 raised toward a $65,000 goal. Pursuit Church San Antonio is scheduled to hold a memorial service for Malachi on Friday, August 21. LeBlanc stated that Malachi's legacy is one of "life, hope, faith and second chances."
