Define tragedy? A Georgia parenting influencer’s 2-year-old daughter drowned in his swimming pool on Father’s Day.
‘I lost my daughter,’ Jamal Morton, 33, also also known as J’Amore, shared with his 2.6 million followers on Instagram (@realjamore/TikTok) in a tribute to Rose, whom he called ‘the best daughter a father could ever ask for.’
‘She thought she was a big girl and could swim all by herself. She walked out of the house and got into the pool where she drowned,’ the dad said in an online fundraiser over the death of the youngest of his nine children.

‘Losing a child is a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy,’ the parent said along with sharing a montage of snaps from the toddler’s recent birthday celebrations in April.
‘I hate to make this post but y’all won’t be seeing me for a while. I have to take a break. I lost my daughter.
‘I hope heaven is real because i can’t imagine you being all alone by yourself. So God, if you’re real, please watch over my baby. Rest in peace, my sweet angel. Daddy loves you forever, Rose.’
Parenting influencer often filmed content near Hoschton family pool
Morton, known for his comedy parenting skits and his “Gentle Parenting” series, often filmed content near his Hoschton home’s pool, and one video from April last year captured Rose’s first steps.
In the clip, he was seen encouraging his daughter to walk toward him.
‘Look who’s walkin’,’ the proud dad said at the time.
Rose was Morton and his wife Jessica’s youngest child, and he announced her birth in April 2024.
The content creator has since revealed he’s had to leave his home in light of the tragedy.
‘We have to move away because we can’t live in that house anymore, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to work anytime soon,’ he told his fans.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office told NBC News in a statement Thursday its deputies responded to a home in Hoschton on Sunday and confirmed ‘there was a death at the residence, which appears to be accidental in nature.’
