Man drowns in Gold Coast pool

A man has drowned in a backyard pool on the Gold Coast, just a week after two young girls met a similar fate.

Paramedics rushed to the Bundall address after receiving a call at 4.15pm.

The man was driving on a Queensland Raceway circuit when he crashed into a tyre wall.

They attempted CPR but weren't able to revive the man, believed to be in his 40s.

Logan sisters Patricia and Taya Young, 3 and 4, drowned in their Logan backyard pool last Monday.

Little Aige, just five years old, found his sisters at the bottom of the pool, believed to be fully fenced, and raised the alarm.

Young parents Renise and Troy rushed to attempt CPR but it was too late.
