MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Two men were found dead in an apartment complex swimming pool on Sunday, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s Office detectives are investigating the incident at the Cypress Winds Apartments, 6904 Manatee Ave. West.
A resident walking his dog saw the victims submerged at the bottom of the pool shortly after 9 a.m.
There were no immediate signs of foul play, officials said.
The cause of death and the identities of the victims are still unknown.
No other details were available, officials said.
The investigation is ongoing.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
