Tragic Accident in Greenville, S.C. Leaves Community Heartbroken

Greenville, S.C. has been shaken by the recent news surrounding the death of an 8-month-old infant, Zander Lawson. This heartbreaking incident took place back on June 20, when Zander was left unattended in a bathtub for a significant period of time. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office has just released the findings surrounding his death, shedding light on what happened that fateful day.

What Happened?

According to officials, it was on June 20 that Zander was found in a bathtub, and first responders were called to the scene. Upon their arrival, they attempted to resuscitate the child. Despite their best efforts, Zander sadly succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead while on life support on July 27. This tragic sequence of events has left many in the community asking how such a thing could happen.

The Findings from the Coroner’s Office

After conducting an autopsy, the coroner’s office has now determined that the cause of Zander’s death was due to complications from near drowning, and it has classified the manner of his death as an accident. This ruling brings some clarity to the situation but does little to ease the pain felt by those close to the family and the community at large.

The Family’s Situation

In the wake of this tragic event, Zander’s mother, Lynda Lawson, 28, and her boyfriend, Robert Eugene Bull, Jr., 26, faced charges of unlawful conduct towards a child.
