Sloan was swimming in the pool on April 13 when he was electrocuted, police said. While police are still investigating the cause of the electrocution, the family suspects a malfunctioning pool light may have been to blame.

A fund has been set up at Sloan's school to establish a foundation in his honor. Click here to donate.
