Sean Francis Smith Identified as Man Found Unresponsive in Hotel Hot Tub

Smith, who was 43, was found floating face down in a hot tub. Paramedics were unable to revive him.

Sean Francis Smith, born Feb. 14, 1969, has been identified as the man found unresponsive on Nov. 14 at the Quality Inn & Suites, said Hermosa Beach Police Detective Mick Gaglia. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

Police were responding to a call reporting a possible trespasser in the hot tub area of the hotel at 901 Aviation Boulevard. When they arrived around 7:45 a.m., they found Smith floating face down in the hot tub.

There were no signs of foul play at the scene, said HBPD Sergeant Robert Higgins. A cause of death has not been stated pending a toxicology report, said Det. Gaglia. Police said they found empty alcohol containers at the scene and that Smith, who they say was a transient, had a history of alcohol and narcotic abuse. The man's relatives have been notified of his death.

Freedom is based on a sure identity, that I know who I am, but more importantly WHOSE I am. WhenRead More the LORD sent Moses to deliver His people, that was the beginning of their liberty. They were a particular people to the LORD, whose name is better understand as "He who was, is, and always will be." Not a god made of stone or wood, but the One who made, makes, and evermore makes and gives to us: the LORD took Israel by the hand and led them from bondage to slavery. Not who you are, but whose you are, makes all the difference between bondage and liberty: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." (Romans 8: 15) Have you been adopted yet? "

Considering Bobko's airforce past maybe the haedline should have been:"Kid Bobko honors fellowRead More airmen Levi Mburu".
