The death of a baby boy who drowned in a hot tub in a family friend’s garden was a “tragic accident”, an inquest has heard. Jetson Maffia-Kerbey, believed to be the baby cousin of So Solid Crew member Lisa Maffia, was three months shy of his second birthday when he died on June 13, 2022.

An inquest into his death concluded by Katrina Hepburn, area coroner for central and south east Kent, found Jetson’s cause of death was drowning and concluded his death was an accident. The inquest at Maidstone County Hall heard on the day of Jetson’s death, his father Nigel Kerbey took him to spend the day with family friend Graham Morgan and his three-year-old daughter at their home not far from where they lived in Folkestone.

The two fathers took their children to an event in the village where the children went on fairground rides and ate ice cream. They returned home at around 3pm where they met Jetson’s mother, Crystal Maffia, and Brook Jordan, Mr Morgan’s partner.
