Gee, he always seemed to be the responsible type. Definately someone I'd want to watch my kids.

Boy drowns at musician Tommy Lee's home

MALIBU, California (AP) -- A 4-year-old boy drowned while at a birthday party at the home of rock musician Tommy Lee.

The boy was one of several children attending the party on Saturday at the former Motley Crue drummer's Malibu home, said Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Brenda Cambra.

"[b]The children were swimming in the pool when the victim was found floating face down in the shallow end[/b]" she said.

Two adults pulled him from the water and began CPR and Lee called 911. Paramedics transported the boy to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Cambra, who said the child was not Lee's son, said authorities were investigating it as an accidental drowning. Police did not release the name of the child.

Let's not jump to conclusions. Just because he's an alcoholic, heroin addict and wife beater doesn't make him the kind of guy who'd lay on his pool chair in a stupor while a little boy drowned to death.

Tommy is however, a gun owner.

That is just too funny.

My guess is 'ol Tommy and crew were too busy "entertaining" the strippers they hired for the kids, to properly supervise the swimming children.

Another swimming pool-related death! How many more must die before we ban these evil devices?

Or anywhere, and in the flash of an instant- our daughter, two years old at the time, jumped into a pool, unbeknownst to us while we were unpacking at at a campground in NH last year. We couldn't have had our attention diverted for more than a minute, when we realised our daughter was gone. We then saw our daughter going under in the deep end of the pool (We didn't even know the place had a pool- it was behind a building.) My wife was closest and jumped in, shoes, clothes and all, to save her- another five seconds or so, our daughter would have been dead. Our daughter had no idea what was happening.

It can happen to anyone.

BTW if Tommy Lee has had so many legal problems w/ drugs- hasn't he spent time in the slammer for one reason or another, incl. a restraining order from his wife?- then how can he legally own guns?

When my son was 2 years old, my wife and I were at my sister's for a pool party. Stupid ole ME, wondered off doing something else, my little son fell in the pool. I was VERY fortunate that one of my in-laws relatives saw him fall in and pulled him out. I felt so bad. Like guns, when you are around a swimming pool with little ones, you can't be too careful. Man have I learned my lesson.

Just goes to show that you cannot turn your back on little children for an instant. I wonder why he didn't have one of those little waist high fences around the pool?

I am founding an organization called People Insisting on Stopping Swimming (PISS) we must stop swimming for the children's sake!

My 24 year old daugher saved a small child in an apartment swimming pool. The mother had turned her back for only a minute or so. Needless to say it scared the hell out of the young mother. Good thing my daugher was there at the time. She had to jump in fully clothed. She said if it had been a few more seconds it would have been to late. Never take your eyes off small children even for an instant, always know where they are.
