The child was playing outside with siblings near Caruthers in Fresno County on Tuesday evening when he appeared to drown in a container that collects rainwater.
Emergency respondents attempted CPR at the scene but the child was unresponsive, and was rushed to CRMC, authorities said.
Due to what appeared to be a miscommunication, authorities initially said the child was deceased.
