The family is still finalizing details for a funeral service at a later date, the post said.

On Saturday, a child’s body was discovered after it had been immersed in a lake in Yuba County for about half an hour. On August 20, at approximately 5:30 p.m., the girl, who was four years old at the time, was reported missing while swimming with her family in the recreational section of Collins Lake, according to the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office. She was discovered by family members and other people who had joined the search submerged in the water only moments before deputies arrived to assist in finding the youngster.
The deputies stated that they made an attempt to perform life-saving measures on the girl before transporting her to a nearby hospital, where she subsequently passed away from her injuries. In a GoFundMe page that was established to assist with the financial burden of funeral costs, the girl’s relatives referred to her as “Tatum.” It has already raised more than $7,600.
