A Drowning in Negligence: When Carelessness Becomes a Felony The drowning death of 4 year old Tyler Vinson at a Chattanooga, Tennessee swimming pool has led to a murder charge against his uncle, Deshundre Vinson.
The 22 year old America's Got Talent contestant is accused of allowing the child to walk into deep water without supervision, resulting in a nine minute underwater struggle that proved fatal.
The investigation found that Vinson, who was responsible for babysitting Tyler and several other children, failed to keep his nephew within arm's reach despite clear signs of distress.
