There is some unfortunate news to share this Sunday afternoon. Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett’s two-year-old daughter, Arrayah, drowned in a family pool Sunday morning. The news was first reported by Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

According to the report, efforts were made to revive the child but the attempts were unsuccessful.

According to Tampa Police, officers responded to Barrett’s home in the Beach Park area of Tampa just before 9:30 a.m. in reference to a child who had fallen into a pool.
