We always see our favorite stars beaming into the camera lens, whether at publicity events, film premieres, or awards ceremonies. That's what makes it all the more shocking when we see their smiles swapped for tears when tragedy strikes. While celebrities may have talent, fame, and money, nothing can protect them from the human reality of grief and loss.
'Married to Medicine' star Quad Webb is grieving the loss of her three-year-old great-niece who tragically drowned in the actress's pool in her Atlanta home. Cobb County police told People that Aryanna Rice, the daughter of Quad's niece Tamica Webb, was discovered by authorities around 8:30 pm on July 7 after police were called on reports of a drowning child. "The child was transported to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta — Scottish Rite Hospital where she was later pronounced deceased," Cobb County police said.
According to a police report obtained by WSB-TV Channel 2 Atlanta, officers were told that the girl, who was staying at Quad's home on a month-long vacation, was in the swimming pool with supervision from two men who had then got out to order pizza and hung out inside for a bit before returning downstairs where they saw what they thought to be a doll in the pool. Realizing the horrific truth, they pulled the child from the pool and called 911. What's worse, the Bravo reality star's rep said this was the second loss of "two beloved family members" Quad had experienced in just one week, both "separate occasions."
