Harbourside Place sent WPTV the following statement:
Our first concern continues to be with the family as they go through and deal with this tragic loss. We know how tough this tragedy is for this beautiful family and we pray for them during this time. Had Harbourside known there was an issue they would have moved immediately to fix it. Harbourside had no knowledge whatsoever that there was any problem with the fountain. We are confident that the true facts will become known during the legal process.
