Five teens filmed and mocked a disabled man as he drowned in Florida, but as disturbing as the footage is, it doesn’t appear that any laws were broken, according to officials.
Jamel Dunn, 32, drowned in a retention pond July 9 as the group of teens reportedly watched and laughed in Cocoa, Florida. It was not until three days later that his body was discovered, according to Florida Today.
Soon after Dunn’s body was recovered, a video surfaced on social media that depicted his final moments, authorities said.
When Dunn fails to surface in the pond, the teens continue to joke about him.
“Oh, he just died,” one teen was heard saying, prompting the group to break out in laughter.
Police were notified about the video when a family friend of Dunn, who had two daughters, saw the footage on social media.
Authorities interviewed the teens, but do not expect to charge them even though their actions had “no moral justification.”
“While the incident depicted on the recording does not give rise to sufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution under Florida statutes, we can find no moral justification for either the behavior of persons heard on the recording or the deliberate decision not to render aid to Mr. Dunn,” the Brevard-Seminole State Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Despite the tragic outcome, the teens didn’t appear to show any grief, according to police.
“There was no remorse, only a smirk,” Martinez said.
Dunn’s friends created a GoFundMe pageto raise money for his funeral.
