Doctor Allegedly Watched as 7-Year-Old Boy Drowned at Community Pool — What Happened Next Raises Serious Questions

A doctor allegedly failed to intervene as a child she was looking after drowned at a Florida community pool, according to authorities.

Sukanthini Subbiah, 48, of Louisiana, was charged with aggravated manslaughter this week following an extensive investigation into the April 10 death of Khushil Bandi, 7, at the Everbe Clubhouse pool in Orlando, according to court records.

Subbiah, a physician, was staying in the Everbe neighborhood to visit family when she brought Khushil, his twin sister and her son to the pool for a play date, the court records said.

Surveillance footage revealed that the children entered the pool at 6:19 p.m., and within a minute, evidence showed Khushil had begun “splashing vigorously” and drowning, the arrest warrant affidavit said.

Subbiah allegedly watched as the child struggled in the water and sent the two other children to help him.
