The family of a boy from Utah, who almost drowned in a swimming pool at Wynn Las Vegas, is filing a lawsuit against the casino resort for negligence. 

The lawsuit, submitted on Tuesday in Clark County District Court, states that Joseph Stanley III jumped into the Encore pool after his 7-year-old son saw that his 3-year-old brother, Wyatt, was not coming up. 

Joseph gathered his son's lifeless body, swam up to the surface, and shouted for assistance. 

Fortunately, an ER physician and an NFL coach were present at the pool at that moment because, as stated in the lawsuit, they were the ones who revived the child — not a lifeguard from Wynn. 

Raheem Morris, the Atlanta Falcons head coach who was the defensive coordinator for the LA Rams at that time, recounted the story two weeks later to ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America,” where he met Wyatt again. 

“I’m sitting down and my kids all scream, I see Wyatt laying poolside and he’s blue,” he recalled.

At first, Andrew Oleksyn, an ER doctor from Dekalb, Ill., provided chest compressions while supporting Wyatt’s head. He then said to Raheem in a steady voice: “There’s no pulse.” “We must utilize the AED.” 

“I looked to the lifeguard and I said, ‘Where is the AED machine?’” Morris recalled.

Raheem and Oleksyn linked their pads to Wyatt. They administered an electric shock, as advised by the machine. Once the rhythm returned to his heart, Wyatt coughed up water and food and started to breathe. He was taken to a nearby hospital for examination, then sent home. 

Morris learned to use an automated external defibrillator because he enrolled in CPR training two weeks prior, following Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest during the Buffalo Bills game against the Cincinnati Bengals aired on Monday Night Football. 

“Numerous individuals within the near vicinity, including a vacationing doctor and a professional football coach, began rendering aid and life-saving measures and CPR on Wyatt after defendant’s employees were incapable and/or unsuccessful in doing so,” the lawsuit reads.

The lawsuit alleges that The Wynn engaged in gross negligence, negligent hiring, training, retention, supervision, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. It pursues general, compensatory, special, and punitive damages exceeding $15,000, along with attorney fees.
