Boy, 3, drowned in condo pool while unsupervised; coroner's court finds nanny 'not forthcoming'
A coroner's court in Singapore ruled that the death of a three-year-old boy who drowned in a condominium pool was accidental. The court found that the nanny, who was supposed to be supervising the child, provided an account that was contradicted by CCTV footage.
Why it matters

The nanny claimed that she had paid full attention to the boy and lost sight of him when she turned to put down a water bottle, but her account was contradicted by CCTV footage.
The report is a factual summary of a legal proceeding and coroner's findings.
