Man Dies in Drowning Accident at Actress’s Beverly Hills Home

Actress Demi Moore returned from a foreign trip to learn that a drowning accident had happened at her home while she was away.

Police said that a 21-year old guest of the actress’s assistant was pronounced dead after he was pulled out of the pool where he had been for an estimated 10 to 15 minutes. He reportedly slipped and fell into the pool but did not know how to swim.

A potential lawsuit that can arise from this type of drowning accident may be pursued against a homeowner depending on evidence of lack of safety measures at the site of the accident.
