Demi Moore is said to
be in 'absolute shock' after a 21-year-old man drowned in the swimming pool at
her $7million Beverly Hills home.
The 52-year-old
actress says in a statement released through her publicist Sunday that she's
out of the country and wasn't home at the time but the death at a party hosted
by her assistant is an 'unthinkable tragedy.'
Edenilson Steven
Valle, who couldn't swim, is believed to have accidentally drowned and died at
Moore's residence at around 5:30am on Sunday morning.
None of Demi's family
were present at the home when the body was discovered, authorities said.
Sources told TMZ the man, who was a friend of one of Moore's
assistants, slipped and fell in the pool. No foul play is suspected. There
was also said to be a 'limited amount' of alcohol involved.
Moore
said in a statement through a representative. "I was out of the country
travelling to meet my daughters for a birthday celebration when I got the
devastating news."
"The loss of a child is an unthinkable tragedy and my heart
goes out to this young man's family and friends," Moore added.
The Los Angeles Times newspaper cited the county coroner's
office as saying the man drowned and was found early Sunday morning floating in
the deep end of the pool at the Beverly Crest residence.
Friends and family told authorities he did not know how to swim.
Sgt. A. Bone of the Los Angeles Police Department told the Times
newspaper that Moore was not home at the time, "nor were there any family
members associated with the celebrity at the location."
