The unidentified 49-year-old father drowned while attempting to rescue his 17-year-old son who was struggling in the gulf waters near Gulf State Park Pavilion.
Biloxi police told local media that a lifeguard was on duty. However, on Tuesday, Capt. Milton Houseman said it was actually pool attendants that were present at the time of the incident.
The body of a 57-year-old man was discovered with a winning lottery ticket in the victim's wallet after he died from drowning and his body washed ashore.
If you have a pool, live near a pond, or maybe you have a family member or friends who do, please take the time to put your toddlers through a class like ISR.
