Authorities investigating the deaths of three New Jersey family members, including an 8-year-old girl, found that they couldn’t swim and drowned in a pool.

A statement from the East Brunswick Police and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office said that despite initial reports that the three were electrocuted, “it doesn’t appear that the victims knew how to swim.”
