6 Year old Carlos Girl drowns in Jacuzzi

About the article: this is a story that pulls thousands of heart strings, On Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 Kortni Botzet, a 6 year old girl from the small town of Carlos Minnesota, just about 8 miles north of Alexandria drowned in the Jacuzzi at the Alexandria Holiday inn, according to police and witnesses "this was freak accident and no foul play is suspected, no charges will be made." According to Kortni's dad, Jim, "Kortni was in the jacuzzi along with a few others and some parents, (Jim was close by watching her but was not in the Jacuzzi with her) when the man noticed she needed help and pulled her out of the water, immediately began performing CPR." As to be expected Kortni's family is devastated along with the parents who were hosting the birthday party.
My opinion: I believe that accident is a complete tragedy and first of all my condolences and sympathies go out to Jim and Nicole and the rest of their families. I had the pleasure of getting to know Kortni as I attended Kindergarten Buddies with her, she was a very caring and beautiful young girl, who was taken way too soon. Accidents like this one happen far too often, but when it hits so close to home the reality is intensified. The accident has hopefully raised some attention to the fact that you can never be to careful and how precious life is. May Kortni rest in peace! I hope she can fulfill all of her dreams in Heaven.
