PHILADELPHIA - Family members of a Philadelphia teenager who drown in a community pool claim lifeguards were reluctant to search the water for the girl after she went missing.
Kaylee Alston, 17, was visiting family members at Franklin Commons Apartments in Bensalem last weekend. Family members say she went missing an hour before the community pool closed at 8 p.m., and they urged lifeguards to search the water.Witnesses say the guards were initially reluctant to go in the pool because the water was murky, and the bottom was not visible.
A guard eventually entered the pool and pulled Kaylee from the water. Family members say 17-year-old Kaylee Alston drown in a Bensalem swimming pool. "He didn’t know what to do we were screaming, saying ‘give her CPR, give her CPR’ he was stuck, he didn’t know what to do, he just said ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry," Kaylee's cousin Alfonso Wright told FOX 29.
