Randall Cunningham's 2-year-old son drowns in family hot tub

The 2-year-old son of former NFL quarterback Randall Cunningham has died in an apparent accidental drowning in the hot tub at the family home in Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Christian Cunningham, who would have turned 3 in December, died after being found floating in the backyard hot tub.

Randall Cunningham is pastor of Remnant Ministries and performs baptisms in the hot tub at his home, the paper reports. He was not home at the time.

According to the report, a woman at Cunningham's house was with several children when she found Christian at about 4:30 p.m. The woman pulled Christian out and began performing CPR until paramedics arrived, and he was taken to St. Rose Dominican Hospital, where he died.

Cunningham went to UNLV and played 16 seasons in the NFL, making four Pro Bowls. He retired following the 2001 season.

How terrible. I would imagine the little guy witnessed his dad baptizing in the hot tub, and that could have been what drew him to it.

Thoughts and prayers for the Cunningham family.

Heart breaking, might thoughts and prayers go out to that family. I can only imagine......

That would be devastating. Lots of prayers for his family.

prayers and love to randall and his family.....

oh geez, that is terrible.

Watch your kids around water and make good choices in your childcare arrangements.

I guess this would be a terrible time to mention something about black people not being able to swim.

That sucks. I can't imagine what they must be going through.

that's terrible.

You'd have to put me on a suicide watch list after that one. I'd have no more reason to live.

That is so sad.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family. Such a tragic loss...

I always hate hearing about the loss of life of a child. I almost went this way.

That is horrible.....prayers to the family...on a side note....have never heard of baptisms being performed in a hot tub from a house..
