GRETNA, La. (AP) - Authorities say a 23-year-old man from Jackson, Miss., died while swimming in a Gretna hotel pool.
The accident occurred at about 11 a.m. Saturday.
Capt. Russell Lloyd of the Gretna Police Department tells The Times-Picayune Jeremy Davis was swimming with a family member from the shallow end of the pool to the deep end during a family reunion when he sank to the bottom.
Lloyd said Davis was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
