The family’s Superior Court filing says the hotel is responsible for the deaths because its pool area was allegedly unsafe, improperly supervised and lacked video surveillance or an emergency alarm
An American family has filed a $3.9-million lawsuit against the Marriott hotel chain after a father and his toddler drowned at one of the company’s Montreal properties three years ago.
William Tchouamou Ganjui and his two-year-old son, Menelik, allegedly fell into the deep end of the pool at the Residence Inn by Marriott in downtown Montreal on April 20, 2016.The 37-year-old father was pronounced dead that day while the toddler died a few days later in hospital. Ganjui’s widow, Chimene Mbague Nandjou, is seeking $3.9-million on behalf of the estates of the two victims, herself and her two surviving daughters.
If the hotel “had provided a lifeguard and/or other safety personnel at the pool at the time of the deaths ... or monitored the pool ... it is more likely than not that Menelik and William could have been saved with timely assistance,” the lawsuit claims.
