KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) Two water park workers were acquitted Thursday of impeding an investigation into the 2016 death of a 10-year-old boy.
David Hughes and John Zalsman were found not guilty of obstruction of justice in connection to the death of Caleb Schwab, the son of a Kansas legislator. The boy was killed while on the 17-story Verruckt waterslide at the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City.
Hughes and Zalsman, both maintenance workers, were the first employees to stand trial in the death.
