In a story that will rip your heart out of your chest, the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that the 2-year-old son of former Eagles’ quarterback Randall Cunningham died on Tuesday after drowning in the family’s hot tub.
A woman used CPR after the boy was found floating about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, but he died at St. Rose Dominican Hospital, a police officer told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“It appears that it’s just a complete tragedy,” Metro Lt. Dennis Flynn told Fox5. “It only takes a brief minute for someone to take their eye off the child.”
The boy was named Christian, and Cunningham, who became pastor of a church called Remnant Ministries after his NFL career, sometimes performed baptisms in that hot tub, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
It doesn’t sound as if the family was being negligent; it just sounds as if the situation was an accident.
Either way, it’s a tragedy and my heart goes out to Cunningham and his family.
