Overview
- The complaint names Ana’s Butterfly Garden operators Ana Feliz Gonzalez and John Guzman and alleges negligence led to 20‑month‑old River Wilson’s death on Aug. 1.
- The filing asserts Gonzalez told investigators she had not seen River for a while because she was cooking inside instead of supervising.
- Court papers allege missing safety measures around the above‑ground pool, citing OCFS findings of nine violations and a license suspension three days after the incident.
- The Bronx District Attorney’s Office continues to investigate, and the medical examiner says the cause and manner of death remain pending, with no arrests to date.
- The family says government agencies are not defendants in the suit for now and hopes discovery clarifies what happened, as Rep. Ritchie Torres advances ‘River’s Law’ to ban pools at home‑based day cares and require door and window alarms.
