In the summer of 2007, Zachery Cohn was swimming in his family pool in Greenwich when he ventured near the pool’s drain. The suction created by the drain trapped the 6-year-old boy’s arm and he couldn’t escape. His father jumped in to try to save him, but he couldn’t pry the boy loose.
Zachery died in his father’s arms, his head just a few feet below the water’s surface. The family would learn that dozens of other people nationwide have died in similar accidents. The boy’s mother, Karen, didn’t want it to happen again. She vowed to use any money collected from lawsuits to launch a ZAC Foundation for advancing water safety.
