Our hearts go out to the parents and family of Kevio Rivaldo Morris, who drowned on Saturday. The 4 year old was found at the bottom of a swimming pool at Peach and Quiet Hotel, which closes every summer for renovations and maintenance.
According to the papers, Kevio was in the care of his grandmother and had wandered away from the home where the police were investigating a burglary. The grandmother had been looking after the child as his mother had just been married and was on her honeymoon.
The papers also say that Kevio was with a group of other children that had come into the hotel compound at 4pm and had been asked to leave.
Peach and Quiet Hotel is owned by Adrian and Margaret Loveridge. Adrian Loveridge is a frequent contributor of tourism articles to island newspapers and blogs. Our hearts also go out to Adrian and Margaret who are no doubt terribly sad and upset as is the entire community.
