According to 8NewsNow’s reporting, SNHD claimed a few days after Triplett’s death that another near-drowning incident had occurred in the pool.
The victim’s attorney, Joel Henriod, has claimed that SNHD’s lifeguard was not there when he died. The other swimmers, he said, shouldn’t have been responsible for seeing her difficulty.
“It’s not their job to be looking,” he pointed out. “Unfortunately, you might as well be alone.” The obituary states that Triplett enlisted in the United States Air Force after finishing high school and served for 24 years.
Her assignments took her to the Azores Islands, South Korea, San Angelo, Texas, Albuquerque, Alamogordo, and San Francisco, New Mexico.
It says that she completed a tour in Afghanistan in 2008. “She received many medals and ribbons for her outstanding service.”
