Talking to the Daily Telegraph, Zack’s grandmother, Irena Ekes, lays the blame on a floating donut from Kmart which apparently flipped and trapped the boy underwater.

 

‘My daughter thought she can turn her back for one second because she knew he was in a floatie but it tipped him upside down. How does that happen? That is ridiculous,’ she says.
