This family just moved into the neighborhood at the beginning of the school year. They have small twin children. Unfortunate to have happened at all and especially on Fathers Day.

This is the third case of a man in his 40’s who drowned in his own pool on Long Island that I’ve heard about in the last two weeks. Opiates and swimming pools don’t mix.
