Who Is River Kelly Smith? Granger Smith’s Son Wiki, Bio, Age, Cause of Death, Accident, Obituary, Funeral, Parents, Siblings and Drowning
Smith’s rep confirmed that River’s tragic death was due to a drowning accident at home. According to the Centers for Disease Control, children between the ages of 1 and 4 have the highest drowning rates, with most occurring in swimming pools at home. And among the children ages 1 to 4 who die of unintentional injuries, drowning accounts for one-third of the deaths.
On June 19, 2019, Granger Smith and his wife, Amber, shared an emotional video on YouTube titled “Finding Light In Our Darkest Time” as they opened up about the recent drowning death of their 3-year-old son, River.
The couple said they wanted to let everyone know how they were doing and thanked fans as well as the first responders and those at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas, who tried to save River.
They also shared details of how the accident occurred earlier this month at their home. Granger Smith explained he had been outside doing gymnastics with daughter London, 7, as River and their other son, Lincoln Monarch, 5, were engaged in a water gun fight.
Soon the parents were inside their pool gate attempting to do CPR on their youngest, who could not be revived. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died two days later, they said.
