A grieving mom has filed a $1 million lawsuit after she lost her only son during a swimming pool incident at Carl Crawford‘s Texas mansion.
According to court papers obtained by TMZ, Liban Hersi claims the former Los Angeles Dodgers star didn’t do enough to protect her 5-year-old son during a pool party at his home on May 16.
Hersi said her son was visiting Crawford with a family friend when he fell into the massive custom pool and drowned.
Another partygoer died when she jumped into the pool to try and help the drowning boy.
Hersi said the pool was not equipped with an alarm system and she claimed the pool’s design was “unreasonably dangerous.”
Hersi was not at the pool party when her son died. She was in another state working during the coronavirus pandemic.
Crawford, 38, shares a son, Carl Leo Crawford, with reality TV personality Evelyn Lozada and two children from a previous relationship.
He called off his engagement to Lozada in August 2017.
Crawford is CEO of Houston independent record label 1501 Certified Entertainment and was the first executive to sign hip-hop artist Megan Thee Stallion.
