POLICE INVESTIGATE DROWNING DEATH OF TWO YEAR OLD BOY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—CALL LOS ANGELES WRONGFUL DEATH ATTORNEYS NOW (Part 2 of 2)
Some of the major risk factors for drowning deaths are lack of barriers and supervision. For example, injuries might be prevented if there are effective barriers constructed around hot tubs and swimming pools, or if there is adequate adult supervision for children playing in the water. In fact, children under one year of age most often drown in bathtubs, buckets or toilets, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Surprisingly, most young children who drown in swimming pools were last seen in the house, and were under the supervision of one or both parents, and drowned within five to ten minutes of disappearing from their parents’ view.
On August 3, 2009, Aden Sanborn of Hemet was found in a backyard pool and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Emergency personnel performed CPR on him before they rushed him to the hospital. There was no further information released on the case. The CDC suggests that a responsible adult should always be responsible for watching children in the pool area, and that children should always swim with a buddy. Adults should also avoid drinking alcohol before or during swimming. For people who have a swimming pool at home, effective barriers should be installed in order to protect children from the area.
