Reply #4: This can sadly happen to anyone who isn't vigilant.

I knew it would this summer again, but not to someone so high profile.

All it takes is taking your eyes off a child who is anywhere near an open body of water for even a few seconds. And when I say "anywhere near," I mean even a baby who has just learned to crawl, inside a house that has a sliding glass door open with access to an un-gated pool or hot tub.

And then there are the poor kids who drown in a few inches of tub water.

It's not a matter of "what some people are thinking"...it's a matter of letting themselves get distracted.

I have a friend who lost a very young child when she fell asleep because she and her kids were home sick, and she took some kind of medicine that made her drowsy and she dropped off. The older one and the younger one (they were both under 5) got bored and decide to turn on the bathtub.
