Kevio at mother's wedding only hours before he drowned.
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.

Every year without fail at least one child home on holidays drowns.
We Bajans don’t seem to learn anything.
Once you take your eyes off a young one for a few seconds around water its all over so quick except for the grieving and the guilt.
Precious, precious precious!
So sad.
Is it true that he drowned in a salt water pool on Adrian Loveridge’s property?
If true can the family sue Adrian Loveridge for not having it properly secured or monitored?
Is it true that he drowned in a salt water pool on Adrian Loveridge’s property?
No, he drowned in the freshwater pool. However there is a seawater “pool” in the sea outside his property i.e. it is in the sea. Its a couple of well placed boulders forming a pool.
Should not the person whom broke into the grandmother’s house if found, be charged with involuntary manslaughter?
The stress of dealing with the breakin would have any one a little absent minded on a day like that – along with the wedding.
Thanks for the info coke, no disrespect intended.
The pool was on Adrian’s property, which is closed and under renovations. Despite the property not accepting guests, the pool was not drained.
The police allowed the four year old to be sent outside during the investigation so they must have felt it okay at the time.
There is more information which I will not share at this time, but suffice it to say that the entire circumstance was just very incredible.
