    Jessica Segovia Tubola forced herself to confront her biggest fear by learning how to swim. The 29-year-old Philippine native from the city of Bacolod on the northwest coast of Negros Island has been afraid of water since the death of her five-year-old brother, who drowned when Jessica was just eight. Five years after moving to Hong Kong in 2016 to take up a job as a domestic helper, Jessica enrolled in Splash, a free adult swimming program for migrant workers. She spends her precious single day off each week taking swimming lessons and confronting some painful childhood memories.

  • Family Shares Carbon Monoxide Warning After Daughter, 21, Drowns on Boat Trip | TODAY

    Every year, thousands of people seek emergency care for poisoning from carbon monoxide — an odorless, colorless gas produced when fuel is burned. It can be deadly for humans and animals who breathe in the fumes.

    Most people think of carbon monoxide as building up indoors, but it can also be a lethal danger out on the open water — one of the top five causes of boating-related deaths each year, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

    Ally Sidloski was 21 when she died in May. As a student and soccer player at the University of Cincinnati, she was the picture of health, her family said. But after a day of boating on an Ohio lake, she went into the water for a dip and never resurfaced.

    The coroner ruled Sidloski’s cause of death as drowning with a contributing cause of carbon monoxide intoxication. When her parents first found out she drowned, they said they were confused.

    “Ally knew how to swim. It didn’t make sense,” Tracie Sidloski, Ally’s mom, told TODAY.
