King Overton Drowning: Unlicensed Camp at Fault | Richmond News

A nine-year-old boy drowned at a summer camp after being underwater for ten minutes — and his family now says evidence points to catastrophic failures by unlicensed staff. His attorneys claim no camp employees noticed him go under, despite his mother having warned them he couldn’t swim. A bystander pulled him from the water, while the legal team argues the pool was dangerously understaffed and unregulated. The case took a major turn when the local prosecutor had to step aside due to a conflict of interest — a paid SwimRVA employee was on their team. Now, a special prosecutor is handling the investigation, as the camp continues operating under a license exemption, raising serious questions about safety oversight.
