Medical alert notified police that Dorothy Simmons needed help. Then a 911 call came into dispatch from the Simmons residence. It was Kevin Simmons wife; she reported a disturbance in the other room.
Now police have Kevin Simmons in custody for the murder of his own mother.
Kevin Simmons, 57, confessed to killing his mother according to deputies. The reason for the murder is unknown at this time and we may never know why Simmons killed his mom.
Simmons was reported to have repeatedly beaten his mother, Dorothy Simmons, 81, with a telephone and a remote control and if the beating wasn’t enough he decided to take his own mom to the pool.
Once he got mom to the pool, he threw her in and then elected to stand on her to hold her underwater.
Simmons’ son, who was visiting, found his dad holding his grandmother underwater in the pool.
Police reported its unknown if the trauma or drowning was the official cause of death and they will have to wait for the medical examiners report.
Simmons is in jail with no bond and
at the time of this post no arrest records were available on line for Kevin Simmons.
Simmons wife and son were home and sleeping at the time of the incident. Unfortunately even with the quick 911 notifications it still was not enough to save Dorothy Simmons.
True Crime Cases would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Dorothy Simmons.
