‘This is a good time to remind people to designate a water watcher when having a gathering,’ authorities said.
‘Someone whose entire responsibility is to watch the water. It only takes a few seconds for a child to go under the water undetected.’
Authorities have concluded the investigation and said there will not seek any criminal charges against the family.
