The two-year-old son of former Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham drowned in a hot tub Tuesday, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
A woman at Cunningham's Las Vegas home found the little boy floating in the backyard hot tub. She got him out and started CPR. When paramedics got there, they rushed him to the hospital, but were not able to revive him.
"It appears that it's just a complete tragedy," Lt. Dennis Flynn told Fox5 news. "It only takes a brief minute for someone to take their eye off the child."
Members of the church where Cunningham is pastor, came together Tuesday night as the news spread, according to the Review-Journal, where reporter Mark Anderson writes:
"We know healing is going to take time," said one church member, who said she goes by the name Miss Happy. "We ask that everyone pray for the family. It hurts. It hurts."
Cunningham was believed to be in San Diego or on his way back at the time of the drowning.
Members of the church congregation gathered that night and shared stories, prayed and cried. They talked about Christian learning to speak, playing football and constantly smiling and having fun.
"He touched the lives of anybody who stood there and watched him," Miss Happy said. "He's one of those little kids like, 'I'll take you home with me.' I can sit here and talk all day about Christian."
Cunningham left college at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas when the Eagles drafted him in 1985. For 11 seasons he played for us. Randall went back and finished his degree 20 years later, according to Fox5. He walked in the graduation ceremony because he wanted to set an example for his children -- that it's important to finish your goals.
