UPDATE: Police release name of 18-year-old who drowned in SLO pool
Police identified Friday an 18-year-old Cal Poly student who drowned at a neighborhood pool in San Luis Obispo.
Morrey Brown appeared to have accidentally drowned around 7 p.m. at a private pool that serves the Los Verdes Park neighborhood north of Los Osos Valley Road and South Higuera Street, according to San Luis Obispo police.
Brown had been swimming with friends at the pool but was alone after they left to get ready for the evening. When his friends returned to look for Brown they spotted him at the bottom of the deep end of the pool, police said.
They tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate Brown who was taken by San Luis Ambulance to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center.
Police said they don’t know why Brown, an athlete, died and they do not suspect foul play.
They are waiting for autopsy results to confirm the cause of death and did not see any obvious signs of trauma.
Drugs or alcohol do not appear to a be a factor in the drowning.

A tragic start to the beginning of a new school year as a Cal Poly student drowns while swimming in a San Luis Obispo pool.
It happened Thursday night around 6:30 p.m. at the Los Verdes Park housing development, just off Los Osos Valley Road.
Roommates of 18-year-old Morrey Brown found him at the bottom of the pool. He was swimming and playing basketball with his roommates earlier in the evening.
