I’ve seen similar things in my career in the E M S field. Some folks need their hand held every step of the way, and the large group was there may have been drinking and could not swim. Dang, who in Florida can’t swim???? Perplexes me too.
Horrible! A drunken pool party would be against my better judgement. Bless the victim and family. Very sad.
Unbelievable. Can’t wait to hear the excuses. I really can’t think of one good reason to stand there and watch someone drown. Even if he had been dead for a while you would still pull him out, wouldn’t you?
Excuse me, wouldn’t the fact that people watched another human being dying at the bottom of a pool and not one soul offered help constitute foul play?
Was this “pool party ” attended by people who don’t know how to swim? Kinda what it sounds like…did he get playfully pushed in? Then everyone watch him drown..or was he forcibly pushed in and everyone watched him drown?
I also wonder why no one pulled him out of the pool after calling 911.What if this had been a small child. Would you also fail to get a child out of a pool. Yes, we all are left wondering.
Sounds like negligent homicide to me.
Bewildered, You expressed the things I was thinking. Needs more clarity.
How many people were at that party? None of them thought of pulling the person out of the water while waiting for first responders? Poor guy- he still had a heart beat when ESCO got there. Getting rescued 5 or ten minutes earlier might have saved his life
Makes no sense. In a drowning time is of the essence! What did the party participants do? Have another beer while waiting for EMS instead of pulling him up ?
