He drowned in the family swimming pool just 1 month later. His inner tube went flat before he reached the steps at the shallow end of the pool and unfortunately he could not swim.

The Covenant
"And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth" (Genesis 9:11-17).
This was God's promise for all generations until the end of time. Those who believe in the literal Flood record have a true understanding of why the bow is in the clouds after the rain. This covenant was with both man and beast. Notice that God appears to be repeating it over and over in these verses. Six times He mentions His covenant to press home the significance of it, yet isn't it amazing that few people associate the rainbow with the covenant promise the Lord introduced after the Flood! The rainbow speaks of God's grace and holiness (see Ezekiel 1:28). The last book of the Bible describes God's throne being surrounded by a rainbow too (Revelation 4:3).
