Granger Smith is grieving the loss of his youngest child.
The country singer shared the “unthinkable” news on Twitter and Instagram Thursday that his and wife Amber’s 3-year-old son River Kelly died “following a tragic accident” where “despite doctor’s best efforts, he was unable to be revived.”
A rep for Smith confirms to PEOPLE River “died in a tragic drowning accident at home.”
“Amber and I made the decision to say our last goodbyes and donate his organs so that other children will be given a second chance at life,” Smith wrote, sharing along with a smiley photo of himself and River.
“Our family is devastated and heartbroken, but we take solace in knowing he is with his Heavenly Father,” added Smith, who is also father to son Lincoln Monarch, 5, and daughter London, 7.

Dreadful. RIP.
Yup, I was a helicopter parent.
My kids lived to have their own kids now.
No, I have no idea what happened.
That is incredibly sad.
Much of the the last thirty years of my life has not been easy for me, but there is nothing that could be so bad as losing a young child.
How sad! I will say a prayer for the family..
You were very fortunate.
I don't know if I could handle that horror.
Prayers for the family how very sad
I have lost a child. There is no greater pain.
IDK Smith but pray for him anyway, may the Holy Spirit offer consolation.
