Drowning is a leading cause of death for young children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In fact, it is the primary cause of death for kids aged one to four. It is essential to keep children safe and supervised around pools and other bodies of water.
Last month, Shaq Barrett posted a series of photos on Instagram to celebrate his daughter’s second birthday. Now, his family is grappling with their young child’s sudden and tragic loss. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their fans have expressed their support and sympathy to the Barretts during this difficult time.
