Chief to recommend charges against Florida teens who recorded drowning

Cocoa Police Chief Michael Cantaloupe said Friday he will recommend the state attorney prosecute the teens under a statute that requires a person with knowledge of a death to notify a medical examiner.

Authorities previously said the teens wouldn't be charged because Florida does not have a law that obligates a citizen to render aid or call for help for anyone in distress.

The teens can be heard warning the man that he was "Going to die" and they were not going to help him.

Instead of calling for help, the teens recorded the incident on a cell phone, chuckling during the victim's final moments.

"At least one of the teens expressed no remorse while being interviewed by detectives," Cocoa Police Department spokeswoman Yvonne Martinez said.

Dunn's sister, Simone McIntosh, had hard words for the teens.
