OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – A murder witness told detectives that 14-year-old Giselle Glover was very ill, so she asked her Florida mother to treat her type 1 diabetes with insulin — and this enraged her.
Instead of helping Giselle, the witness, who was their roommate in Osceola County, reported that Kelsey Michelle Glover grabbed Giselle by the hair and pushed her head down underwater in the bathtub until she drowned on Nov. 20 at 1148 Cambourne Drive, in Kissimmee.

According to a motion for pre-trial detention published by Law & Crime, the murder witness said that before Glover, 35, killed Giselle and tried to kill her, Giselle “was vomiting, not eating, and feeling weak” and “was having difficulty consuming water due to it making her ill.”
According to Assistant State Attorney Danielle Pinnell’s motion, the witness also reported that she was able to get Giselle out of the bathtub and perform CPR but Glover stopped her and pushed her out of the bathroom before arming herself with a hammer and threatening her.
Fire rescue personnel took Giselle to Poinciana Medical Center where staff pronounced her dead. Dr. Joshua Sephany, the medical examiner, listed the cause of death as drowning and the manner as a homicide.
“What happened to her is unimaginable, and we are determined to get justice for Giselle,” Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez said during a news conference.
The grieving father identified as DJ Glover on GoFundMe and he published a final letter to his daughter describing her as intelligent, inspirational, full of love, caring, and “the strongest soldier God ever created.”
