An Indianapolis father and his three young children who were found dead in a pond July 12 died by accidental drowning, according to the Marion County Coroner’s Office.

The father also had acute ethanol intoxication, the office reported Wednesday.

Kyle Moorman, 27, 5-year-old Kyle Moorman II,  2-year-old Kyannah Holland, and 1-year-old Kyran Holland were found in a pond on Bluff Road after they had been missing for about a week.

Members of the Indianapolis Fire Department Dive Team and Department of Natural Resources had located Kyle Moorman's vehicle, a black Saab, using sonar technology.

Authorities later announced they recovered the bodies of three children inside a vehicle submerged at the bottom of the pond.

Family and friends had searched the pond, where the father often went fishing, and the area near the intersection of Bluff Road and West Troy Avenue for several days before the bodies were recovered.
