Very sad situation.. Jaevon Whyte, age 17 almost, passed away in the pool of Keney Park in Hartford CT. While he and two friends at least 2 others and as many as 20 trespassed over high fences, he somehow drowned without his friends realizing it.
 
That may have been at 9pm with a large group of friends or just a pair of others If a large group was there and they thought the police were coming, that could explain some chaos that may have contributed to Jaevon struggling if he took in some water or if he stepped into a deeper part of the pool since he couldn't swim.
