Officers in Tampa, Florida, responded to a call that a child had fallen into a swimming pool at Barrett’s home in the Beach Park neighborhood shortly before 9:30 a.m. The football player’s youngest child, Arrayah, was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.
“The investigation is ongoing,” the police report said. “It is not believed to be suspicious in nature at this time, but a purely accidental and tragic incident.”
The Buccaneers released a statement on the incident.
