Clarksville, TN – Clarksville, Tennessee police say an 11-year-old boy drowned at a motel swimming pool over the weekend when he jumped in to retrieve an object in the deep end. Officers say a 57-year-old male family friend was supervising the boy and two other young children Friday, but went to his room to get a snack. Police say the man told the group not to go into the deep end of the pool. The child was not immediately identified. The investigation is continuing.
