Influencer Jamal Morton Says 2-Year-Old Daughter Drowned in Home Pool

Sheriff's deputies describe the incident as accidental, prompting legal uncertainty alongside Morton's pause from social media.

Overview

  • Morton says his daughter Sadé Rose walked out of the house and drowned in the family's backyard pool on Father's Day, Sunday, June 21.
  • The Hall County Sheriff's Office confirmed deputies responded to the Hoschton home and said there was a death at the residence that appears accidental, and no criminal charges have been announced.
  • Morton posted tributes and created a GoFundMe to cover funeral and relocation costs, but reporters say the fundraiser and several social posts were later removed.
  • Morton's management team says it is temporarily running his accounts while the family grieves and a memorial service was scheduled for June 28.
