Father falls asleep in Airbnb hot tub with toddler daughter in his arms, wakes up to find that she drowned:
A Washington, D.C., man is in a Florida jail after his toddler daughter drowned in his arms in a hot tub while they were on vacation and staying at an Airbnb,
Deputies with the Osceola County Sheriff's Office responded just after 3:30 a.m. Saturday to a home off Nice Court in Kissimmee for a report of an unresponsive child who apparently drowned. Paramedics rushed the 20-month-old girl to a hospital, where she died about an hour later.
According to a probable cause arrest affidavit, detectives interviewed the 33-year-old father, Reynard Tyrone Hough, who admitted he had been drinking and ingested "two different types of unknown narcotics" during the night. Sometime between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., Hough told detectives in a post-Miranda interview, he entered the master bedroom where he saw the girl's mother and an infant asleep.
Hough said he noticed the toddler was awake and wanted to be with him, so he grabbed her and went outside to the backyard hot tub. He allegedly said he was holding his daughter in his arms when he fell asleep for roughly 20 minutes. He woke up when he felt the girl's "head drop." The suspect said he "immediately knew something was wrong because she felt limp," cops wrote.
He ran inside to alert the girl's mother, but did not mention they were in the hot tub and she may have drowned
