Overview

• The lawsuit targets Ana’s Butterfly Garden Family Group and names operators Ana Feliz Gonzalez and John Guzman.
• The family’s attorney says the suit alleges negligence in River’s Aug. 1 death, with filing expected in Bronx Supreme Court later Tuesday or early Wednesday.
• State records show a May unannounced inspection found no pool-access issues, but three days after the drowning regulators cited nine violations, including an inadequate pool fence, and suspended the license.
• A spokesperson for the city medical examiner says the death remains under investigation, and no criminal charges have been filed.
• U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres is promoting River’s Law to prohibit pools at residential day cares and to require door and window alarms.
