Kenyan S. Potter
Former United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate Gladys Potter is mourning the tragic loss of her 21-year-old son, Kenyah S. Potter, who died after reportedly drowning while swimming at Buffalo Harbor State Park in Buffalo, New York.
Kenyah, an Antiguan who was living and studying in West Seneca, was reported missing after entering the water in the park’s outer harbor shortly before midnight on Saturday. He had celebrated his 21st birthday less than two weeks before the tragedy.
According to authorities, emergency responders were called after Kenyah disappeared beneath the water, prompting a multi-agency search operation. The Buffalo Fire Department, Erie County Sheriff’s Office, Buffalo Police Marine Unit and the Underwater Recovery Team all responded to the incident.
After an extensive search, Kenyah’s body was recovered from the water shortly after midnight by members of the Buffalo Police Marine Unit and Underwater Recovery Team.
The Erie County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene, and an autopsy has been scheduled to determine the exact cause and circumstances surrounding his death.
Antigua.news extends its sincere condolences to Gladys Potter, the Potter family, Kenyah’s relatives and friends during this time of profound grief. May he rest in eternal peace.
