A family trip to the Jubilee resort on Wednesday to celebrate their son’s 13th birthday turned into tragedy when the teen drowned in the pool at the resort on his birthday.
A police report said the young boy Ray Stuart Jr. was taken to the resort by his father in the company of other family members and friends.
It was noted that the teen could not swim, but while the family members were in the pool, the teen ventured to the deep side and went under the water without being noticed.
It was not until the father realised that the youth was missing that an alarm was raised and a frantic search began. He was pulled from under the water and rushed to the Diamond hospital where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
The body has since been transferred to the Memorial Gardens mortuary for a post-mortem examination.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing. There are reports that there was no active lifeguard on duty at the resort at the time of the drowning.
