Man found dead in Demi Moore's pool
Moore also expressed sympathy for loved ones of the victim."The loss of a child is an unthinkable tragedy and my heart goes out to this young man's family and friends," she told People. "I ask that you please respect the privacy of all concerned during this sensitive time."
