King Overton Drowning Investigation | Richmond News

A nine-year-old boy drowned at a SwimRVA summer camp on his first day — possibly submerged for ten minutes before another child noticed. The family’s attorneys allege critical failures in supervision and pool safety, including an inflatable structure blocking lifeguard views, and say no staff saw him go under. Complicating matters, a prosecutor from Henrico’s office also worked for SwimRVA, prompting a special prosecutor to take over. The camp was operating without a valid license, meaning it hadn’t been inspected for safety. SwimRVA calls it an accident, but the family’s legal team describes King as “small, mighty, and funny” — and they’re waiting to see what the special prosecutor decides next.
