A jury has found two employees at a Kansas water park not guilty of obstructing an investigation into the 2016 death of a boy on the Verruckt slide, which was billed as the world’s tallest before it was closed down.
Caleb Schwab, 10, was killed while going down the water slide in the summer of 2016. David Hughes and John Zalsman, two employees at Schlitterbahn Waterpark, were accused of lying to investigators in the boy’s death, but a jury on Oct. 18 found them not guilty, KSHB reported.
