Unfortunately, as the weather gets warmer, we always see more of these kinds of accidents. But it’s important to consider there are sometimes unusual circumstances that don’t make the news. I’ve seen stories of exposed wiring, malfunctioning pumps, poor property management, and other factors police may not look into cause deadly accidents. If investigators aren’t considering all of these possibilities and letting the evidence speak for itself, it would be a disservice to a family who deserves answers.
