Kentucky Sen. Johnnie Turner of Harlan has died as a result of injuries received in an accident last month.
Turner was injured and hospitalized in September when a riding lawnmower he was driving went into an empty swimming pool.

I cannot come up with a situation where this resulted in hospitalization-type injuries without intoxication being involved. Maybe a seizure? But it doesn't indicate that there was anything neurological going on.
12Do you mean that you can't imagine how he actually drove it into the swimming pool unless alcohol or something else occurred? Because falling over a 5-10 foot ledge and having the mower land on you would easily cause significant injuries.
As for why it was driven into the pool: Could be something as simple as being distracted, eg., using his phone while mowing.
20It was a why. And I guess he could have been on his phone right by the pool while mowing too. I don't think any sort of safe behavior was involved considering if it was some sort of mechanical failure, you can easily jump off of a riding mower before it falls into a pool and maybe skin your knee.
I'm just trying to figure out how this would have happened if it wasn't either irresponsibility or a medical issue. I concede that there could be other options.
