The Jacksonville City Council President announced a special committee to address drowning prevention across the city, following two drowning deaths involving autistic children in August.

Dozens gathered at a candlelight vigil on Jacksonville’s Northside to honor 7-year-old Chace Brown, a child with autism who was reported missing Aug. 5 and later found dead in a community retention pond. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says no foul play is suspected, as Chace’s father and teachers shared memories of his smile, energy and hugs.

As school lets out and summer vacation begins, the family of a 2-year-old Jacksonville girl who drowned in an apartment complex retention pond is speaking out — demanding stronger water safety measures from property owners across Florida.

Precious memories of 2-year-old Musiq Jordan-Dye are all her family has to hold onto after she was reported missing in October and was later pulled from a pond at the Paradise Island Apartments.
