Boy Critical After Sucked To Bottom Of Hot Tub
Florida - A 14-year-old boy in Osceola County was critically injured Friday when he was sucked down to the bottom of a resort hot tub.
Authorities said Aljuwon Pipkin, who was visiting from New Jersey, became stuck at the bottom of the hot tub in Radisson Parkway Hotel.
"The suction was so strong that they could not get him out," mother Dianne Mann said. "He stayed under there until the paramedics and fire department came and they were trying to get him out."
"Fortunately there was an engineer walking around the hot tub at the time of the incident and he was able to shut off the water pumps before it was too late," Reporter Jessica D'Onofrio said.
The teen was submerged from five to 15 minutes, the report said.
Pipkin was transported to Florida Hospital South in critical condition.
The hot tub passed its last inspection at the end of May, according to the health department.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident.
