A one year-old boy drowned Sunday night in Louisville after he somehow crawled into the family’s outdoor hot tub. Family members were home when the accident occurred.
The boy’s mother says she was in the shower when her son somehow got out of the house and into the hot tub. His grandfather told authorities the cover to the hot tub was left off by accident.
The young boy was immediately taken to Kosair Children’s Hospital, but died about an hour and a half later. The Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating the death, but it does not suspect any foul play.
Our deepest sympathies are with the family of the young victim.
