A Fayette County man whose 2-year-son drowned after climbing into an aboveground pool while unsupervised in July 2024 was sentenced to house arrest followed by probation.
Donald Myers III, 31, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Fayette County Court of Common Pleas to endangering welfare of children and recklessly endangering another person in connection to the death of his son, Carson Myers.
Myers said in court Tuesday he believed his son, Carson, had climbed up to the pool by standing on a toy car.
Myers pulled Carson from the pool and attempted to resuscitate him, according to court documents.
“Obviously, they’ve suffered a lot for losing a child, but we think it was preventable,” Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele said Tuesday.
