A 24-year-old woman and a young boy reportedly died after they drowned in a pool at the home of former Los Angeles Dodgers player Carl Crawford on Saturday afternoon.
According to TMZ, Crawford was hosting a small gathering of six people at his home in Houston, when the tragic incident occurred.
The little boy is believed to have wandered off and fallen into the swimming pool located in the back of the house and started having trouble breathing. In an attempt to save him, the woman identified by friends as Bethany Lartigue, reportedly jumped into the pool. Both sadly drowned.
Crawford tried reviving both Lartigue and young boy, but was unsuccessful, according to TMZ.
