The whole thing is strange.
I have heard reports that non of the bodies were floating.
One never gets a straight story these days.
Agreed ... It seems there's a strange difference between the details some folks are alleged to have mentioned versus the general absence of anyone's claims about what happened or the immediate aftermath.
For example ...
The recent news item in which the widow disputed the daughter's claim specifically mentioned the father entered the pool via the steps, which include a handrail (see the photos). I find it strange that a person supposedly reacting to his child's crisis would "take the stairs" rather than jump / dive in.
The presence of the handrail afforded the father and son a secure anchor point for creating a hand-holding daisy chain to try and reach the girl.
The repeated statements indicating the girl got into trouble first suggest someone witnessed the sequence of events, but nobody has reported what that sequence seems to have been.
