Timothy Alan Koets
The death of Samuel was one of many instances in which the former professor left the autistic child unsupervised before he went to work.
On the day of his death, Timothy said he left Samuel on their backyard deck and woke up the child s mother Michelle Koets to let her know before leaving for work.
Michelle, however, fell back asleep from exhaustion as she worked the night shift as a registered nurse the day before her son s death.
It was Samuel s 13-year-old sister who found him in the pool chest-deep and sent a text to her father letting him know. She then called for help in the house, but Michelle did not hear.
A former western Michigan college professor has been sentenced to prison for manslaughter in the death of his autistic teenage son, who drowned after spending an hour in an icy backyard pool with his arms restrained.
Timothy Koets, 51, was sentenced to a minimum of two years in prison and a maximum of 15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter.
He had pleaded guilty in December to involuntary manslaughter and child abuse in the March 2019 death of 16-year-old Samuel Koets.
âSam had value, and the sanction will not restore Sam, but it will recognise that all humans have value, and because of the neglect you committed, a valuable human has lost his life,â said Ottawa County Circuit Court Judge Jon Hulsing.
