A young man was found dead in Demi Moore's swimming pool.
The body of a 21-year old man was found at the bottom of the swimming pool at Demi Moore's house early Sunday morning. City New Service says the body was found just before 6:15 a.m. on Moore's property somewhere in West Los Angeles. Authorities have not yet released the identification of the man.
Moore was not home at the time, but a neighbor told TMZ that her daughters have been at the house for weeks and throwing "parties every day, day and night."
As Gossip Cop points out, Tallulah Willis has Instagrammed several of these pool parties:
