David has been stuck on 98 ever since the release of the ground fault receptacle. 98 in 34 years.....we need a government grant.
With this most recent death, there have now been at least 98 reports of electric-shock drownings since 1986, estimates David Rifkin, the co-founder of the Electric Shock Drowning Prevention Association.

Adult can drown in 6-7ft not knowing how to swim and trying to save a 4 year old.
I would rather drown than watch my kid drown and do nothing.

Foxnews this morning reports that police have ruled out electrical shock. Their theory is that they simply didn't know how to swim...in 3 1/2' of water. It really sounds suspicious to me.

The photo didn't show any lights.
Unless the pump equipment leaked current.
Shock pretty unlikely.

There is no way that I believe that. They might not have known how to swim but I am pretty sure they knew how to stand up.

Shallow end of gene's pool? Import the third world you get the third world. A half million dollar house and a swimming pool is hardly 3rd world. Regardless of the COD, folks owned a house with a pool - family using it doesn't know how to swim. Third world mentality.

Most above ground pools extend below grade at least 6 inches, and with an expandable liner can made to go even deeper. You can have four foot walls and a 6-7 deep pool in the middle. Not sure about this one though.

There is no way that I believe that. They might not have known how to swim but I am pretty sure they knew how to stand up. I recovered a good many drowned people in my career. It is not uncommon for a panicked person to drown in water they could have stood up in. All this time people spend sending kids to dance or martial arts classes would be much better spent on swimming lessons. I go to church with a lady that has said she fears drowning so much she can't get in a bathtub. She says she has to shower. If she fell out of a boat she would be drowned in about a minute.

Nisha PatelWhat CNN fails to mention that she was the US Program officer at the Bill Gates Foundation and she oversaw 17 BILLION in Federal grants & budget spending under Obama. The three died in an above-ground pool that the adults should be able to stand up in.....

I can understand 1 person panicking and drowning but not the whole family. It sounds more suspicious all the time.

Is there a conspiracy website that Jag posts from that you happened to stumble upon?

Growing up in The Netherlands, the entire grade school was bussed to the swimming pool for half the school year. EVERYONE swam, and almost every sixth grader ended up with a rescue swimming certificate. But, we had some water around to worry about...... I can imagine the budgetary howls from the bureaucrats around these parts....

The lack of reading comprehension here never ceases to amaze me. It's especially strong with the tin foil hat brigade.
Per the report - the pool is 6-7' deep in the deep end. The bodies were found in 4'. Think you dweebs can figure that out?
Lunatic fringe....we all know you're out there.
