The community is reeling following the tragic and deeply disturbing death of 15-year-old Timmie Favorite, an incoming freshman at Saginaw United High School, who drowned in a 12-foot underground pool during a party over the weekend.
While authorities have yet to confirm the full details, growing outrage online and in the local community centers around disturbing allegations that Timmie was pushed into the pool, despite his repeated pleas that he couldn’t swim.
Witnesses claim he was thrown into the water multiple times, the final time reportedly after someone was paid $50 to do so.
One heartbroken friend wrote online,
“He got out and told everybody to stop throwing him in because he couldn’t swim. Then somebody paid someone else $50 to throw him back in — knowing he couldn’t swim. They found him two hours later. TWO HOURS.”
Via FacebookAnother echoed the horror and confusion,
“Wait — adults were at this party and no one jumped in to save the kid?? They waited for police to do it? Wtf.”
Via FacebookThe third mentioned,
“The pool was 12 foot deep and he couldn’t swim. He got pushed. No one helped him.”

Timmie was well-known within the Saginaw Public Schools system as a rising star, not just athletically, but personally.
A talented student-athlete at Thompson Middle School, Timmie excelled in football, basketball, and track and was admired for his energy, kindness, and potential.
Derrick Wyatt, former assistant principal at Thompson and now assistant principal at Saginaw United, said,
“Timmie was a joy to be around. We were all looking forward to seeing him walk the halls this fall.”

“This weekend, our Saginaw Public Schools family suffered a devastating loss. Timmie was more than an athlete — he was a bright spirit, a respectful student, and a young man full of promise. We mourn this loss as a community. Timmie, you will not be forgotten.”

As tributes flood in, so do calls for justice.
Many are demanding that the circumstances surrounding Timmie’s death be investigated thoroughly and that those involved be held responsible.
A former substitute teacher who worked with Timmie expressed outrage:
“He was a very happy and respectful young man. Y’all failed Timmie, his family, and his friends. I pray the prosecutor picks this case up. Some of y’all should be held accountable. #JusticeForTimmie”

Timmie is remembered not only by his classmates and teachers, but also by a loving family who is devastated by his loss.

“Timmie, we never got the time we deserved with you. It saddens our hearts deeply to know this has happened. You were loved and will always be a part of us. Rest peacefully, grandson.”
